love this line "His boundary didn’t offend or hurt me, but rather made me love him more. It also made me trust his words more because he was vulnerable about what he needed."

This is just an excellent take on boundaries. And timely for me. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Sure. I had a relationship end last Sunday after two years and I apparently did not set clear boundaries about my expectations regarding communication and—being a single-dad—what cooperation I would want regarding parenting. I need to be more intentional with boundaries—something I've struggled with all my life anyway—and this really hit the mark more than any thing else I can recall reading on the subject. Just thinking of boundaries in the ways you presented really helped give me some clearer perspective on how to approach that moving forward.
