Can you truly trust someone you have to repeatedly remind to respect you and your boundaries?

no i don't think so. if they consistently disrespect you and your boundaries it shows a lack of general concern or respect for you.

a person who doesn't respect or have concern for you is unlikely to be someone you can trust

If someone doesn't respect a person's boundaries it's the end of the relationship.

How can someone ever be trusted, if they are constantly not respecting the other person's wishes.

On GAG my aim is to help you decode relationship red flags and stop wasting your heart on the wrong people.

If you have to constantly remind someone to respect your boundaries, you’re not in a trust-based relationship, you’re in a training program. Respect should be consistent, not negotiated. Repeated boundary-pushing is a massive red flag and low-key emotional manipulation. You deserve someone who remembers, not someone you have to repeatedly re-educate.

It would depend on how and when they're challenging your boundaries as well as how realistic those boundaries are but ultimately a "friend" should respect another "friends" boundaries so that trust can be maintained.

[Still-alive]

if they constantly violate your boundaries despite you telling them then no, don't trust them and you are also warranted in stop talking to them or even blocking if they keep going.

Why have boundaries? Is your love so immense it needs to be fenced off?

[AngryCarl3]

Not only would I not trust them, I would cut them out of my life.

[jahaims]

No, in fact you are stupid for maintaining a relationship with someone who doesn't respect you

[Nikki1989]

No, that will never work.

[NathanDavis]

no... that's crazy

[msc545]

Absolutely not.

[Desserter4]

Nah, get out of there

[Hagar88]

Probably not.

[slatyb]

No, you can't.

[Brady]
