Some people view boundaries as a weird or negative thing, but in reality, it is one of the best things you can do for yourself and for the relationship.

Boundaries are about knowing yourself well enough to set up guidelines for things you need in the relationship that make you happy.

And if this is done right, your partner will do the exact same thing as well.

When boundaries in relationships and marriage are clearly defined, couples are much happier overall.

Couples take each other's feelings into consideration, there is a mutual respect that is given, and there an increased sense of relationship awareness that is important to have.

In relationships that do not have boundaries, often times couples guess when their partner needs and wants, and make assumptions.

This creates conflict at times because couples are often not on the same page and get frustrated with one another.

How To Set Boundaries in Your Relationship/Marriage

1. Identify your feelings

In order for healthy boundaries to happen, it's imperative you are self-aware about your feelings.

This requires you to reflect inward and determine the things your partner has done that cause negative emotions. What makes you sad, overwhelmed, frustrated, scared, etc.

This is just an exploratory process that does not require communication with your partner at this point.

2. Set Your Boundary

Once you are aware of what causes you to feel ways that are uncomfortable, it is important to communicate that to your other half.

For example, if your partner is raising their tone of voice at you, you can tell them (politely but assertively) that you will not tolerate them talking to you in that tone.

It is important you model for your partner the tone you would like to be spoken in.

3. Don't Doubt Yourself

Sometimes when you set boundaries in your relationship or marriage it is not always received well by the other person or you feel guilty for doing so.

This is why it is important to remind yourself that your needs are worth being met. Do not doubt yourself for setting boundaries in the first place.

You need these boundaries in order to be happy and feel respected.

Relationships require respect, and having clear parameters and boundaries is a way to ensure that happens.

As individuals, we all have needs that need to be met, and it's important that the people in our lives respect those needs.

Question: My husband has many female friends. Most of them are secretive through social media. Some of his women friends are his exes. Some of them are younger women (I'm 61 years old. My husband is 60 years old).
The younger women in his life he desperately wants to be "father figures" in their personal lives.
He has told me that some people warned him about my excessive jealousy, and insecurity problems when we got married less than three years ago.
I think I made a mistake in marrying him, and am contemplating on leaving him.
I would welcome any feedback.
Question is: What are my options at this point??
