How would you describe "having boundaries" in relationships? Have you ever had to adjust or re-set your boundaries with certain people? How did it work out? Did you run into resistance at first?...What made you realize that you didn't have "strong enough boundaries?"

Well, I had to tell one not to give out her phone number to guys at work! Does that count? lol I love this thread. It gives me a chance to rub in a point of another one. She always was jealous of other women even looking at me. Even a waitress, who was extra nice or giving her the nod of approval. She always felt compelled to have to call to check up on me as well. Are you kiddin'? I'm laying under a car all greasy at my friend's house! It works two ways. At least I always have and will continue to say..... "sorry not available."
I think everyone should have an innate sense of boundary . In order to expect most people to know the do's and don'ts, that person has to have a certain level of maturity.
Hence, you have the big mouth clown who alway spouts off where-ever he goes. He has NO sense of boundaries.
So start with a mature person to expect the best results.

A sense of humor is a positive trait, not a bad one. Most men like that in a gal. Some should TRY it more.

People who talk loudly on their cell phones out in public don't seem to have a clear-cut sense of boundaries!

It's even funnier when her Dad called me repeatedly and practically begged me to take her back. If her old man likes you, that is usually a good sign. He understood why I didn't though and was embarrassed about his daughter's two-timing behavior. I've moved on since.
My husband and I didn't "bother" each other when we were out in the world "doing stuff" by ourselves. We wanted to give each other "space." We'd contact each other if there was an emergency or to say that we'd be back later than expected etc...We didn't "pester" each other with non-stop phone calls or texts. It was important to give each other "personal space." Neither one of us wanted to feel that we were on a "leash" even though we were close and best friends.
not quite sure what you mean by "boundaries"... sexual... ?? cell phone usage...??? don't go into my dresser...??? hmmmm... never had anyone give me rules or boundaries... if unspoken/ or written boundaries then how would one know what those boundaries are??? Just an inquiry
I don't understand the concept of setting and resetting boundries in a relationship.
My bounderies are the bare minimum requirement of behaviour I will accept. They don't really change. If those boundaries are crossed the person is removed from my life. But they are not frivilous, they include the basics like honestly, fidelity, etc.
Resistance is futile.
