Greetings ladies and friends 🥰💕.

It has really been a while but I have always got us in mind. Hope we are enjoying good health which comes first among others.

Am glad to be joining in again in this week’s amazing ladies of hive prompt as brought to us by our dear @trucklife-family. Interesting awesome topics and I will be discussing on the number 2️⃣

From my own perspective and reasoning, boundaries are the most important factor we should consider first in any kind of relationships we wants to have. Here it could be a marriage relationship, friends, partner, colleagues at work place or even our own dear families.

The boundaries we set and maintained is what most times keeps the relationship we have with people going due to how it does define who we are and the personality we wants to be known with. And which in other words help us also to stay away from relationships we see as unhealthy.

Setting boundaries with people especially in some certain areas we feel they should not cross will certainly create a better understanding between the parties and this in most times brings respect to everyone in and around the relationship because when there are no checks in relationships things can become unhealthy and out of hand.

My mother in-law is a very inquisitive woman who wants to every movement we make in the house when ever she comes visiting. Which I see as not a bad thing since I feel she is doing it out of concern, but I was not able to condone her behavior one weekend that my partner and I decided to take some evening out. She was just on full on asking us where we are going this evening? How long are we staying and other unnecessary questions. I just got made and interrupted her on the process. “ Mama we are not children for God’s sack I shouted” “Please give us some break I added”. In fact she could not look at me straight in the face after that incident. My husband was annoyed with me while we drove out saying she is just showing concern. But this is beyond concern. We are grown adults who live their lives daily in a city 🌆.

And after that incident, she cane apologizing to me that I should not be mad with her. That she realized she went to an extreme. After all we are adults with children and have berries living our lives. I used the opportunity to talk to her about slowing down in her inquisitiveness because her own daughter has also complained to us about her mothers way of trying to know everything happening in their lives.

This is how setting boundaries should be. Correct who ever that tries to cross the boundary so that we can maintain healthy relationship. And these are done through respect and understanding. Respect they say is a reciprocal despite who is involved and what is the person’s age. In a relationship respect counts so much because it helps to bring understanding while also creating peace.

My closest girlfriend whom I have known since childhood took offense with me after visiting my house one weekend. The problem here was that when she visited my home and waited for almost an hour because I was held up in a tragic and asked her to wait for me. Asking for a drink I told my house help to offer some soft drinks which she said no to, asking for some brandy. I spoke to her on phone explaining to her of how my house help can not offer her that since my husband and I are not home yet. She was mad on the phone and decided to leave before I finally got home. I called her after a day and she refused to pick my call. Then I decided to leave her to decide for herself.

Surprisingly she called me after one week to that incident and said she could not believe the way I have treated her. Then I made her to understand how there are rules in life. I can not allow you to come to the house and decide to start drinking brandy when my husband and I are not home. We offer visitors drinks like that when we are home. And she being my best friend should not be offended by things like this after years we have known each other. My husband made this rule and I can not break it I told her. Its left for her to accept it so to not allow it hinder our relationship I made her understand.

I respected my husband by not allowing her to start drinking brandy while we were not home because its one boundary we set together and must keep it going among others in the relationship which has continued to make our relationship stronger. Boundaries are so important in all we do. I can not allow some of my friends visit my house without appointments or when my husband is home alone. And other boundaries are mot allowing my colleagues in the office to go to my cabinets or drawers searching for documents, or using my computer 💻 without my permission. All these are important to maintain respect and understanding.

And in the area of independence and togetherness, these two factors I believe work hand in hand for those with open mindedness for the sack of healthy relationships. I can’t see myself trying to hide things from my husband. No matter what ever it is, I will always look for away to let him know about it because of how he respect me in all that I do about work and in my personal lifestyle. The encouragement and positive vibes shows how he does not stand on the way for me . He does not monitor me or suspects me in any way because of how we have built respect and understanding around us. And this is one important element in a relationship. Trust that we build for togetherness that nothing can destroy. The boundaries we set that we keep brings us together more and more giving each person the opportunity to pursue their aims and objectives in life without hindrances since we understand each other. It might seem difficult sometimes but need to understand one another conquers it all.

Thanks for reading ladies 🥰💕🌸

Saludos señoras y amigas 🥰💕. Realmente ha pasado un tiempo pero siempre nos tengo en mente. Espero que estemos disfrutando de buena salud, que es lo primero entre otros. Me alegra unirme nuevamente al increíble mensaje de damas de la colmena de esta semana, presentado por nuestra querida @trucklife-family. Temas interesantes e increíbles que discutiré en el número 2️⃣ Desde mi propia perspectiva y razonamiento, los límites son el factor más importante que debemos considerar primero en cualquier tipo de relación que queramos tener. Aquí podría tratarse de una relación matrimonial, de amigos, de pareja, de compañeros de trabajo o incluso de nuestras queridas familias. Los límites que establecemos y mantenemos es lo que la mayoría de las veces mantiene la relación que tenemos con las personas debido a cómo definen quiénes somos y la personalidad con la que queremos ser conocidos. Y que en otras palabras nos ayudan también a mantenernos alejados de relaciones que consideramos poco saludables. Establecer límites con las personas, especialmente en algunas áreas determinadas que creemos que no deberían cruzar, sin duda creará un mejor entendimiento entre las partes y esto en la mayoría de los casos genera respeto para todos dentro y alrededor de la relación porque cuando no hay controles en las relaciones, las cosas pueden volverse poco saludables y salirse de control.

control.

Mi suegra es una mujer muy curiosa que, cada vez que viene de visita, está pendiente de cada movimiento que hacemos en la casa. Lo cual no veo como algo malo ya que siento que lo hace por preocupación, pero no pude tolerar su comportamiento un fin de semana en el que mi pareja y yo decidimos salir por la noche. ¿Estaba en pleno preguntándonos adónde iríamos esta noche? ¿Cuánto tiempo nos quedaremos y otras preguntas innecesarias? Me acaban de hacer y la interrumpí en el proceso. “Mamá no somos niños para el saco de Dios grité” “Por favor danos un respiro agregué”. De hecho, ella no pudo mirarme directamente a la cara después de ese incidente. Mi esposo estaba enojado conmigo mientras salíamos diciendo que ella solo estaba mostrando preocupación. Pero esto está fuera de toda preocupación. Somos adultos que vivimos nuestra vida diariamente en una ciudad 🌆

Y después de ese incidente, ella se disculpó conmigo porque no debería enojarme con ella. Que se dio cuenta de que había llegado al extremo. Después de todo, somos adultos con niños y tenemos bayas viviendo nuestras vidas. Aproveché la oportunidad para hablar con ella sobre cómo disminuir su curiosidad porque su propia hija también se ha quejado de la forma en que su madre intenta saber todo lo que sucede en sus vidas. Así debe ser el establecimiento de límites. Corrija a quien intente cruzar el límite para que podamos mantener una relación sana. Y esto se hace a través del respeto y la comprensión. El respeto, dicen, es recíproco independientemente de quién esté involucrado y cuál sea la edad de la persona. En una relación, el respeto cuenta mucho porque ayuda a generar comprensión y al mismo tiempo crea paz.

Mi novia más cercana, a quien conozco desde la infancia, se ofendió conmigo después de visitar mi casa un fin de semana. El problema aquí fue que cuando ella visitó mi casa y esperó casi una hora porque me detuvieron en una situación trágica y le pedí que me esperara. Al pedir una bebida, le dije a mi empleada de casa que le ofreciera unos refrescos a lo que ella dijo que no, pidiendo un poco de brandy. Hablé con ella por teléfono y le expliqué que mi ayuda doméstica no puede ofrecerle eso ya que mi esposo y yo aún no estamos en casa. Ella estaba enojada por teléfono y decidió irse antes de que yo finalmente llegara a casa. La llamé después de un día y ella se negó a atender mi llamada. Entonces decidí dejar que ella decidiera por sí misma. Sorprendentemente, ella me llamó después de una semana de ese incidente y me dijo que no podía creer la forma en que la había tratado. Luego le hice entender que hay reglas en la vida. No puedo permitir que vengas a casa y decidas empezar a beber brandy cuando mi marido y yo no estamos en casa. Ofrecemos a los visitantes bebidas como esa cuando estamos en casa. Y ella, siendo mi mejor amiga, no debería ofenderse por cosas como esta después de años de conocernos. Mi marido hizo esta regla y no puedo romperla, le dije. Le queda a ella aceptarlo, así que para no permitir que obstaculice nuestra relación, le hice entender.

Respeté a mi esposo al no permitirle comenzar a beber brandy mientras no estábamos en casa porque es un límite que establecimos juntos y debemos mantenerlo entre otros en la relación, lo que ha seguido fortaleciéndonos. Los límites son muy importantes en todo lo que hacemos. No puedo permitir que algunos de mis amigos visiten mi casa sin citas o cuando mi esposo está solo en casa. Y otros límites no permiten que mis compañeros de oficina vayan a mis armarios o cajones en busca de documentos, o utilicen mi computadora 💻 sin mi permiso. Todo esto es importante para mantener el respeto y la comprensión. Y en el área de la independencia y la unión, creo que estos dos factores funcionan de la mano para aquellos con una mentalidad abierta en busca de relaciones saludables. No me veo tratando de ocultarle cosas a mi marido. No importa lo que sea, siempre buscaré una manera de hacérselo saber porque me respeta en todo lo que hago en el trabajo y en mi estilo de vida personal. El aliento y las vibraciones positivas muestran que él no se interpone en mi camino. Él no me monitorea ni sospecha de mí de ninguna manera debido a cómo hemos construido respeto y comprensión a nuestro alrededor. Y este es un elemento importante en una relación. Confíe en que construimos para una unión que nada puede destruir. Los límites que establecemos y mantenemos nos unen cada vez más, brindando a cada persona la oportunidad de perseguir sus metas y objetivos en la vida sin obstáculos, ya que nos entendemos unos a otros. A veces puede parecer difícil, pero la necesidad de entenderse unos a otros lo supera todo.

Gracias por leer chicas 🥰💕🌸 las imagenes son mias

Your insights on boundaries and the balance between independence and togetherness in relationships are truly insightful and resonant. It's clear that you have put a lot of thought into how these principles shape healthy, respectful, and lasting connections, @sunshine29

Setting boundaries is indeed crucial for maintaining respect and understanding in any relationship. Your experiences with your mother-in-law and closest girlfriend highlight the importance of clear communication and mutual respect in enforcing these boundaries. It's admirable how you handled these situations with honesty and assertiveness, ensuring that your relationships remain healthy and balanced.

The story of your mother-in-law showcases how setting boundaries can lead to better understanding and respect. By addressing her behavior directly, you were able to establish a healthier dynamic while also preserving your relationship with her. Similarly, your conversation with your closest girlfriend emphasizes the importance of respecting each other's boundaries, even in long-standing friendships.

Your thoughts on independence and togetherness beautifully illustrate the need for trust and open communication in a partnership. The mutual respect and understanding you share with your husband create a strong foundation that allows both of you to pursue your individual goals while supporting each other. This balance is essential for maintaining a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom. Your perspective offers valuable insights for anyone looking to cultivate respectful and balanced relationships.

I am sorry that your friend was not able to respect your boundaries, I imagine that must have hurt a lot and then for her to accuse you of being rude to her even after she had some time to reflect on her behaviour.
Thank you @sunshine29 for sharing your experiences around boundaries and the importance of them within any relationship xx
