Every person has heard at least once such a concept as personal boundaries.
What are personal boundaries in psychology? These are conventional limits that strangers and sometimes even close people are not allowed to cross.
How do personal boundaries affect your romantic relationship with your partner?
Psychologists have answered this question in detail. The second part of our material reveals the details.
This is worth remembering.
It is important to understand that, first and foremost, any relationship is, above all, a partnership on mutually beneficial terms for both parties.
A successful partnership can bring many benefits only if its participants have clearly defined personal boundaries and their own “I”.
However, it is important to remember that rigid boundaries or, on the contrary, too weak boundaries can harm the relationship.
For example, in the first case, the partner or both partners may immediately stall in the development of their relationship. In the second, one of the participants will begin to exploit the other, whose boundaries are weaker.
Psychologists advise adhering to so-called flexible frameworks that allow for compromises that are beneficial for both partners.
