Boundaries Defined

There are physical boundaries and emotional boundaries. You wouldn't let someone slap you repeatedly without stopping them would you? I hope not! So why so often do we allow people to violate our emotional boundaries in a very similar way? It's important to be in touch with our own feelings and understandings before we can hope to take responsibility for our own behavior and what behaviors we should allow from others. Different relationships and situations require different boundaries or rules of behavior. For example, the way spouses intimately know one another allows for different dialogue and behaviors with one another than say siblings or strangers. Boundaries whether they be physical or emotional are simply rules of interaction and behavior.
