Open communication is key. Be honest about your feelings and listen actively without judgment or interruption.
Set clear expectations from the start to avoid misunderstandings. Make sure both partners are on the same page.
Learn to say "no" respectfully. Boundaries also mean knowing when something isn’t comfortable for you and communicating it kindly.
Avoid controlling behaviors. Encourage mutual trust and autonomy in your relationship to foster healthy connections.
Make time for yourself outside the relationship. Pursuing hobbies and friendships can help you maintain your sense of self.
Regularly check in with each other. Discuss any changes or challenges to your boundaries to ensure you both feel respected and heard.
