Creating boundaries doesn't need to be presented in a negative way. We can instill boundaries while still keeping it a positive experience.

My boundaries are like electric fence because I'm trying to instill them for the first time after 29 years without them. I'm learning.

Yeah good luck with "light boundaries " with a man. You give them the tiniest bit of leeway and they go the whole mile. Trust me. Strong boundaries are needed in this era of pornsick men and sociopaths.

New bf jokingly flipped me off. I didn't flip out about it, just said I don't appreciate it even in a laughing context. Told him that people who did it jokingly eventually do it purposefully. He apologized and said he would work on removing that from his repertoire.

He did it again yesterday, this time I acted hurt. He immediately ran to me, pulled me into his arms and apologized and said he does it all the time with his friends and he's trying hard to break the habit. I told him I'm not his friend, lmfao.

He agreed.. but yeah, I'm debating with myself on whether this is a red flag or a yellow one. It bothers me in theory, but in the moment I can tell it's unintentional. Hm. Lots to think about.

It can be a very visible electric fence with a warning sign that announces you will be treated sacredly.

"Treat yourself the way you want others to treat you."
