If you don’t set BOUNDARIES, he will take advantage and will walk all over you.
ALL. OVER. YOU.
Set your BOUNDARIES early and don’t budge on them.
Believe me, there is a reason why someone wrote a book called, “Why Men Love Bitches – A Guide For Women Who Are Too Nice”.
Are your boundaries firm?
Bonus: I love the Therapy For Black Girls podcast. You may want to take a listen to these episodes called “What Are Boundaries and Why Do I Need Them” and “The Gift of Boundaries“. These are not an affiliate links, I’m simply sharing.
This was something I had to learn early and quick. It was a steep learning curve, but once I had set my emotional boundaries I could have healthy relationships with other people. Not just romantic, either. Boundaries are important in families, friendships, and other social situations.

Yes, Boundaries are important in all aspects of our relationships. However, for this month’s A to Z Challenge, I’m focusing on the romantic love situation specifically with men due to the recent tragedy that happened with a family member.

Girls should be taught this beginning at a young age. Teaching them to simply be “nice” and go along to get along is a sure way to make them future victims.

Agreed but the generations before me were more concerned about “appearances” and “being nice” than standing up for themselves.

So true. And they “normalize” abuse as one more thing women have to put up with from men.

I firmed up my boundaries recently. Some people didn’t like that… Oh well!

Well. All but maybe one or two of those things on that list are true for me. But I’m not sure I can fix that.
