Be honest with yourself, then with her (2/6)

This may seem like obvious advice. When was the last time you really stopped to think about your boundaries? The topic may have come up because of your girlfriend’s actions or a situation you were just in. Maybe it made you feel uncomfortable and that’s okay. The important thing now is to understand why it made you feel that way and let her know too.

Be clear about exactly why it made you uncomfortable and what you’re okay with in the future. Giving her this understanding and a clear boundary is far more meaningful and productive than just getting angry. Be as clear and concise as you can be when talking about it. Keep things positive and reassure her that everything is okay now that this boundary is in place.Strong relationships are built on great communication and it all starts with knowing your limits.
