Apni feelings ka responsibility partner par dump na karna, aur na hi unki emotions ko control karna.

Respectful tone, no insults, no shouting — disagreement allowed, disrespect nahi.
Digital Boundaries
Phone checking, passwords, social media limits clear hone chahiye.
Physical Boundaries
Comfort, consent aur safety sabse important hai.

Communicate Calmly
Boundaries gusse me nahi, clarity me set hoti hain.
Use “I” Statements
“I feel overwhelmed when…”
“I need some personal time…”
Be Consistent
Kabhi allow, kabhi object — ye confusion create karta hai.
Accept Discomfort
Shuru me boundaries set karna awkward lag sakta hai, par ye normal hai.

“Boundary apni safety ke liye hoti hai, control dusre ko badalne ke liye.”
Agar partner aapki boundaries ko samajhne ki koshish karta hai — green flag.
Agar wo boundaries ko ego par le leta hai — red flag.
