Yes. Yes. Yes. It is very important if core to respect your partner's boundaries and make them feel safe and secure enough to share them and demand that they communicate them to you in a clear way to avoid frustration and misunderstanding. Set high standards on respecting each other's boundaries and remember that there would be a time that you would wanna express yours and have them respected so apply the same. No passive aggressive attitude should be tolerated and you shouldn't be ridiculed or judged when you communicate them. We all have our own insecurities and wounds but don't bring up weapons like silent treatment or childish behaviour it's only gonna make it worse. Always strive to communicate even if your partner avoids it or isn't comfortable with that, communicate even the hard stuff. This is how me and my boyfriend maintained our relationship we talk to each other and try to understand how each person feels before it escalates. by the way my boundaries are call me if its super important but don't text me all the time cause I get overwhelmed and work long hours so my job requires my full attention. Anybody who doesn't respect that my job comes first cannot be with me and Im truly thankful that my boyfriend understands this and lets me be. I know he doesn't like me working too much but he never complained about it. I am mindful also not to bring my job between our relationship cause Im getting so stressed by work that adding to that wouldn't help and he gets it :))
Yes, I did, but I found out he never respected mine. My boundaries are disrespectful people, I will NOT tolerate it. I’ll bring it up once to see if we can move on and be adults about it.. But, if it continues or nothing is resolved I’m done and I can move on accordingly. My partner didn’t respect that due to his accustoms and culture, in his culture family is everything and you tolerate toxicity and disrespect. (You’re supposed to brush it off and allow it, because “they’re family”. )
Mutual respect shows consideration for all involved, so how could I expect respect without giving it?
Never seek more than you're already bringing to the relationship.
Accept people as they are rather than for the potential they can become. No one is a lump of clay eager to be molded by others.
Never accuse, blame, criticize, demand or tell others what they should or shouldn't do.
Prioritize making sure both always feel safe, secure and special.
Before saying or doing anything, ask yourself whether you'd truly appreciate (not just tolerate) being on the receiving end of what you plan on saying or doing. If not, come up with an alternative.
Never make unilateral decisions that might impact the other person.
Ask yourself what you can do to move things forward rather than focus on what you believe the other should be doing.
No means "no"... not "try and change my mind."
Clear, open, honest, and respectful communication at all times
A pretty complex list. But here's what it boils down to:
- If her rules keep changing, so I can never know them, then my confidence is gone. I cannot be with someone who is constantly moving the goalposts, so as to entrap me.
- If her limits are reasonable, I honor them. If what she expects of me is batshit, then she violates my boundaries.
- I don't desire to take advantage. But if my need-to-know is dire, I'll push for transparency.
- If I feel she cannot resist taking advantage of me in every circumstance, there soon won't be any more circumstances.

Think it important to discuss your values and boundaries in the relationship. Think it also important to respectful of what might be ok for another person might not be for another. Then if they don’t have same values it can turn to lies which is a red flag for me. and that when you got to be really honest with yourself with where the relationship is going. I watched a video on Matthew Hussey he is brilliant dating coach tells

#1 rule of my life is respect and boundaries no relationship can last without boundaries because it builds no trust and doesn't give you or your partner your bare minimum respect. Yeah My boundaries are dont ask for nudes or ask me to do something i dont want and let me know you aren't talking to other people and talk to me at least everyday
s I definitely respect my partners boundaries. I read the chart you’ve posted, and the only boundary I have out of those 4 categories is a sexual boundary ie things that I am not willing to do in the bedroom, and my partner respects that. We both also respect each other’s alone-time.
When I know there's a boundary, especially sexual I like to tease him but I'd never go overboard and he knows it. But he doesn't really have boundaries I'd care to cross. As for me, I occasionally don't want to be hugged, but hug him instead because I have breathing problems and can't feel like I'm being obstructed or I get into a panic mode. Sometimes I just don't want to talk and we don't. He respects everything.
For me personally I use physical and sexual boundaries more than the other two. It's always good to have space when dating/getting to know each other. Take your time don't rush it. But also, I tell the guy before the first date that I am waiting for marriage.
Then if the guy checks out in certain things like he respects that I am waiting and he isn't unhealthy in regards to communication then the other two boxes are used.
I have always been single and so the question is not applicable as far as a partner is concerned.
However, for me yes I have set my own boundaries and I always follow them. I am always aware of my own limits.
1. Privacy is important don't come In the bathroom while I am pooping
2. MY cell phone is my cell phone. Your cell phone is your cell phone.
3. Should be #1 Co parents buisness none of mine. long as the topic is about the kids, choice words threats and hands to self we cool
I have problems to recognize emotional and mental boundaries but I definitely respect physical and sexual boundaries as they are really much easier to recognize and communicate.
Flirting and having sex with other men. I mean she doesn't want me doing that with chicks, so I don't. But she's a stupid slut and doesn't really consider if that bugs me. Just saying.
When it comes to boundaries I never wanna cross them, like I never wanna make anyone uncomfortable in anyway. This also causes me to be a pussy when making moves, because I'm always thinking what if I go too far, what if they don't want that, etc..". And when it comes to my boundaries, it really depends on the person I'm with.
Absolutely 100%. The funny thing is, I'm the opposite. I get accused of not caring because I give too MUCH space..
oO ya just can't win sometimes!!
He gets no boundaries. If I could live in his underwear I would 😂. I’m jp but that’s how I used to be. Now that I’m older I respect the fact that he needs his space and not every little thing needs to be discussed.
1. Absolutely. I don't cross boundaries unless they're 100% willing, and i expect the same.
2. Follow the rules, no anal and don't betray Mr. I'm easy to please.
Never going to have a partner again after all the cheating that conspired by each one of them. They never respected any of mine so why should I respect any of theirs
It depends on the circumstances, if she needs boundaries like emotional or mental boundaries than I can respect that. But for physical and sexual boundaries I don't think I can respect that, sex is a very important thing in a relationship and so is physical contact like hugging or snuggling, and if she can't fulfill those needs than it might not work out for us in the end.
What boundaries? Love has no boundaries...
When love is dictated by rules and by books the couple will fail...
I believe that a married couple are one person and both will compromise about everything...
u I respect everyone's boundaries... yes, partner or not
Why would you wanna do something that hurts your partner?
Not respecting boundaries is an easy way of getting her boundaries with someone else less restricted.
Not respecting the boundaries of another human = red flags! = run.
