That is always been easy for me as I kept being always totally honest and direct with any partner. They can do the same with me.
It becomes even easier when the person I talk with proven to be rational, intelligent, never overreacting over anything but capable of understanding my side of the things. So it's something that happens when who says "no" is quite good at communication and ready to face conflicts, and the receiver is good at being a listener with rationality and honesty too.
When I had passive aggressive partners I said my "no" anyway but that was always a huge mess. Now I avoid people who aren't mature enough on the communication side, even for friendships only.
Some women have been educated that saying "no" is not nice so they will allow psychological and sexual abuses with fake consent to then suffer later, or more simply, will say "yes" with big smiles precisely when they feel discomfort and are truly annoyed at something, because not capable to deal with conflicts even in a basic way and never taught to, so they will find even very huge workarounds sometimes to avoid situations where they might be required to say a "no". That is regardless of how accessible and understanding the receiver is, it's something of their education (which includes sexism).

For my boundaries its easy but when he nicely asks for something it realy is hard for me to say no so I mostly say yes

[Guy13]

About what? That’s situational.

[SlavicThor]

In general, in what situation would you struggle to say no to?

[Guy13]

I don't know. It does not apply to me. From the question, it seems you are having issues with it?

[SlavicThor]

I do in certain situations, I feel like doing so would either hurt her or make her become mroe distant

[Guy13]

I am more of the mind that standing up to her... when she is likely Testing me earns respect.

[SlavicThor]

I agree, I always so no but soemtimes it feels like I'm saying no too often without compromise aha

[Guy13]

Yeah that can get you... compromise but lead. And on undecided then decide and move forward cautiously.

[SlavicThor]

100%
