We read many things about what love is and what it isn’t to help us understand love. But love is not something we can understand from our mind. Until we experience it, we don’t actually know what it is or how to experience it in our lives. Is it love when a parent allows a baby to cry and cry, to get them on a schedule or get them to sleep?

Many people confuse boundaries – which are a way of taking loving care of yourself – with controlling behavior toward others. Marilee told me in one of our early phone sessions: “I set a boundary. I told him that he couldn’t speak to me that way any more.” Jackson said to me in one of our early Skype sessions: “I earn the money. My girlfriend doesn’t work, but loves to spend the money I earn. So I set a boundary. I told her that she had to stop spending so much money and racking up credit card bills.” Both of these people are confused about what a boundary is. They think a boundary is something they set for someone else, but they are wrong. A boundary is something you set for yourself. Continue reading Are You Confused About Boundaries in Relationships? |
