Chances are you did not communicate your boundaries or even knew what your boundaries were in the beginning. We all want to have a successful relationship with minimal battles. Choosing what some of the more serious battles will be are completely within your control and firm boundary setting is the way to construct the type of relationship you want to invest in. establishing firm boundaries at the beginning of a relationship creates a space you can go into it with transparency, respect and trust knowing the expectations required for your happiness as a partner.
