I think you explained that well, but i'm just confused. I read about boundaries a while ago, but feel I never understood the concet.
This is where I'm confused--so how does his saying yes/no affect your personal boundaries if you were worried about intruding on his? I think I could use some of that practice too. lol
So how can accepting an answer, like you wrote here, have anything to do with your personal boundaries? What I understand is that boundaries affect action, but it's like you are talking about the result of the action. So (and this likely sounds so stupid to be asking) boundaries have 2 components--action/reaction, as opposed to just action?
"If I said no, then he had asked and I had said no, and he took it in such a way as to demonstrate what accepting a no meant if you had good boundaries."
