Set Boundaries

Whether you’re casually hooking up or have been going out for a while now,



setting boundaries is an important part of any relationship. To have the healthiest relationship, both partners should know each other’s wants, goals, fears and limits. You should feel comfortable communicating your honest needs to your partner without being afraid of what they might do in response.

It’s also important and healthy to spend time by yourself doing things that you enjoy or that help you relax. You should be able to tell your partner when you need to do things on your own instead of feeling trapped into spending all of your time together.

If your partner tells you that your needs are stupid, gets angry with you or goes against what you’re comfortable with. Asks you to do something that just doesn’t feel right, or they try to control you in some way, that’s when you get to say that this isn’t healthy to you. And your partner is not showing you the respect you deserve.

Talking about your boundaries with your partner is a great way to make sure that each person’s needs are being met and you feel safe in your relationship.
