Boundaries are not static; they can evolve as individuals and relationships grow. They provide a framework for adapting to changes while maintaining the integrity of each person. 8/

Establishing boundaries involves open communication and ideally mutual agreement. It's a collaborative process that requires active listening and understanding rather than an imposition of control. 7/

Boundaries help prevent codependent dynamics where one person's happiness or well-being is overly dependent on the other. They encourage both partners to have a sense of self and independence. 6/

Healthy relationships recognize and celebrate the individual identities of each partner. Boundaries ensure that each person maintains their own space, interests, and personal growth without feeling controlled or restricted. 5/

Each person is responsible for defining and communicating their own boundaries. It's not about dictating what the other person can or cannot do but about expressing personal limits and preferences. 4/

Setting boundaries is an act of self-empowerment and self-care. It's about expressing one's needs and values rather than imposing rules or restrictions on a partner. 3/

Boundaries are about acknowledging and respecting each other's autonomy.
They reflect an individual's needs, feelings, and personal limits, which may not necessarily align with their partner's. 2/

I have boundaries, and why you should too. #polyamory #relationships 1/
