How can I set boundaries with my anxious partner?

Setting boundaries is important for both partners. Can you share specific situations where you feel boundaries are needed?

I often feel overwhelmed when they constantly seek reassurance.

It's understandable to feel that way. You might try expressing your feelings and suggesting specific times for reassurance.

That sounds helpful. How do I bring it up without hurting their feelings?

You can approach the conversation with empathy. Use 'I' statements, like 'I feel overwhelmed when...' to express your needs.

Thanks! I’ll try that. What if they react negatively?

It's possible they may feel hurt initially. Reassure them that your intention is to strengthen the relationship.
