Love Therapy: Setting Boundaries and Being Understanding

In our generations relationships there are a lot boundaries being crossed and too much stubbornness ruining the stability of relationships. It is more than necessary to establish how far you are willing to go for the sake of your relationship and even more necessary to be understanding in it. There are too many people who have no limitations for what they will do to keep their relationship due to fear of starting over or being alone. At the same  time people have too many limitations for what their partner cannot do in their relationship. Relationships can't function under those kinds of circumstances.

It is of the greatest importance to maintain your own identity within your relationship. Any and all relationships are a sum of two parts working together and should remain two parts in one circumstance to continue being considered a relationship. The feeling of love can be a consuming one, however, to be taken by that feeling to a point where you are no longer an independent operator in your relationships will result in you being drained of your ability to be conscious of boundaries you shouldn't cross. You will do things because you "love" them, ignore signs that are obvious to everyone observing them, and blame yourself for problems that arise in your situation (a situation because it's no longer a relationship). 

Gaining understanding in a relationship is vital. To know your partners habits, likes, and dislikes are one thing, but to understand why those things exist the way they do in their lives is far more important. Understanding must be reached in relationships otherwise there will be resentments that could potentially damage the relationship later on. Arguments and misunderstandings are inevitable in all relationships,however, they are just learning experiences. 

Certain boundaries are to be discussed in relationships especially dealing with Sexual romance. Many people have things they are not willing/comfortable to do sexually that their partner desires from them.  These things are to be discussed and a mutual agreement should be reached.
