Could someone explain what boundaries are in a relationship?

What boundaries in a relationship? How do you set them? What do they mean? Could someone explain maybe give some examples. Thanks for your time hope you have a good day

When you decide to be in a relationship with someone should be the point when you both state your boundaries. Boundaries are different for everyone, so it’s really important that you speak up about the things that are important to you.

For example, some people like having multiple sex partners. For others, this would be a deal-breaker.

These are my boundaries.

No matter the reasoning, I do not tolerate other people being in the relationship, whether she wants an open relationship, threesome, etc if she wants that, end it with me and find someone else.

Lying and silence I do not tolerate either. If you have anything to say, say it. I appreciate more if someone is open and honest with me.

If you're coming over, unless it's part of a surprise, always call or text ahead and wait for my response.

Don't go through my personal belongings without my permission.

Never discuss our private business, which includes our sex life with others. Keep it in the relationship. Any issues you have with me, discuss it with me.

Respect each other’s opinions even if you don’t agree.

Don’t be a nag and constantly ask a million questions about my whereabouts.

boundaries are limitations to certain actions and behaviors within the confines of a committed relationship

before a relationship starts, you tell them what is to be expected in the relationship, what behaviors are allowed etc. and discuss on compromises and sacrifices because that's going to happen in a committed relationship

for example. cutting off all contact with ex-partners and former crushes can be one of them. another could be not talking shit behind one's back or keeping secrets and having open honest communication. no partying and clubbing without the other can be another one

prepare for backlash and shaming of "insecurity" when a certain boundary can't be crossed

I appreciate it thanks

Everyone's boundaries differ. You need to establish what yours are. What you will and won't tolerate.

For example ; one person's boundary may be that they wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who is friends with their ex. But that may not be another person's boundary. They may be OK with it.

Someone may forgive a cheater and remain in the relationship. Another person may end it if their SO cheats because that's crossing their boundary
