“I keep myself up at night, tossing and turning, thinking about how I wish I could tell my partner how I feel. I’m struggling inside with myself, with us, and looking at a dim future. I get nauseated just thinking about the confrontation this will bring if I share what is going on in my head & heart.”

The above quote is the reality for over half of marriages, partnerships, and intimate relationships. We live years in relationships with people we spend hours of our lifetime. Still, somehow, we are not being heard with our own personal wants and boundaries. Why is this so difficult to communicate in an information and technological society?

Part 4 of our 6-part series on boundaries centers around our boundaries with our partners. We discuss the top 3 reasons why we struggle with voicing our need for boundaries with our partners:

• We don’t have a clear understanding of what are personal boundaries are for ourselves
• We are fearful of outcomes
• We live in guilt

There is hope even if you feel you are subject to all three reasons!

Have you missed Parts 1-3 of our 6-Part series? No problem. Feel free to watch/listen before or after Part 4. Look for the upcoming episodes as we continue the series.

We will discuss the boundaries surrounding:

Part 1 - Yourself

Part 2 - Business

Part 3 - Kids

Part 4 - Partner

Part 5 - Extended Family

Part 6 - Friends
