Boundaries are necessary for healthy relationships from "summary" of The Truth by Neil Strauss

Healthy relationships thrive on clear delineations of what is acceptable and what is not. Without these lines, individuals often find themselves lost in confusion, leading to resentment and misunderstandings. The essence of a relationship lies in mutual respect, which can only flourish when each person understands their own needs and the needs of their partner. Establishing personal limits becomes crucial. It allows individuals to express their feelings, preferences, and discomforts without fear of backlash. This transparency fosters trust and opens the door for genuine communication. When both partners are aware of each other's boundaries, they can engage more openly, knowing that their emotional safety is prioritized. The absence of well-defined limits often leads to a power struggle. One partner may dominate, while the other feels sidelined. This imbalance can erode the foundation of the relationship, turning it into a battleground rather than a sanctuary. Recognizing and respecting each other's boundaries helps to create a balance, where both partners can thrive individually and collectively. Setting boundaries isn’t about building walls; it’s about creating a framework for connection. It invites vulnerability, as individuals share their true selves without the fear of being taken for granted or manipulated. It encourages a culture of accountability and respect, where both partners agree on how to navigate their shared journey.
