But, how do you even start setting those boundaries? It's like trying to change a habit - it takes time and practice. Begin by identifying your limits, like what you're willing to discuss and what you're not. For example, you might say, "Hey, I'm not comfortable discussing this when you're yelling - can we talk about it when we're both calm?"
Think of it like setting reminders on your phone - you're reminding yourself (and your partner) of what's acceptable and what's not. It's not about being mean or controlling, it's about being clear and respectful. And, just like how you wouldn't tolerate a friend constantly canceling plans, you shouldn't tolerate disrespect in your relationship.
