Boundaries
What are some healthy boundaries some of you have set within your own romantic relationships to prevent expectations, strain or any other negative feelings from pulling you and your partners down?

Let's explore it a bit together. I'm thinking at the moment if it's necessary to set the boundaries in advance. What if, how to behave and what to do appear at the right time when it is necessary. Is it enough to be in the present moment?
What do you think about it?
I have no boundaries :/ he is a pain in the butt. We both payed out each other’s expectations before marrying so we both know what to expect and when he pulls me down I wait till he’s done and then I have to act like nothing happened cuz he can fish it but not take it
My partner persists in negging me for not finding a job fast enough. However, he calls me « self important » when I wave him off during TIMED applications. If you don’t finish the page or at least keep interacting with it, you lose all your work! We are both disabled so I MUST work from home. Last night, I told him his football game had zero impact on our material conditions and therefore did not matter as much as my associate science writer application. His entitlement regularly fills me with rage. I want to tell him that I despise the slovenly gambling addict he is turning into. He is 35 years my senior, the ONLY generation to amass enough wealth to own property. He picked me out of the slums when I was about 22, treating me like a princess and to be perfectly honest, now 40, I feel catfished, so last night I told him he wasn’t paying enough for concubine treatment. He didn’t take that well, but I don’t care. I know his absent, overprivileged, selfish daughter is going to put me out on the street after he dies. Both of them are already homeowners with parent funded Ivy League degrees. There’s an iron dome that must go up on my attention when a remote opportunity that I qualify for comes across my notifications. He loves my labor, but I don’t believe he loves me anymore. I loved « Kevin can f*** himself” BTW. He’s turning into a Kevin in his old age.
