Boundaries are NOT a list of rules you create for another person. They are NOT tools we should use to control our partner(s) or their behaviors. Boundaries are not a hot buzzword we should use to manipulate others.
It is my hope that, for many of you, introducing “me time” into your relationship will be a seamless and easy transition. Still, I understand that this isn’t always the case for everyone, especially if you’ve been in a relationship where “me time” hasn’t ever been the norm.
These are just the tip of the iceberg, of course! However, I’d say it’s a good place to start if you’re feeling stuck on ways to begin rebuilding and reconnecting.
