Updated: Apr 1, 2020

Have you ever had an argument where you felt the other individual is just dominating the entire interaction? I know I have... โฃ

You may not realize it, but you ๐—–๐—”๐—ก set boundaries during conflict. These can help let your partner or friend know that you are starting to become overwhelmed or that things are becoming too intense in the moment.โฃ

โฃ

  • You can ask them to communicate their message differently.โฃ

โฃ

  • You can ask them to bring their tone down if they are yelling or too excited.โฃ

โฃ

  • You can ask them to pause and take a moment to hold hands or hug โ€” to spend a moment letting go and just loving each other.โฃ

โฃ

  • You can ask them to validate your perspective on the situation.โฃ

โฃ

  • You can take a 20โ€“30 minute break and revisit the situation later if all else fails.โฃ

โฃ

Keep in mind that both people need to be ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ด in order for this to work. โฃ

โฃ

If someone superimposes themselves on your boundaries after you have communicated them, then you need to take care of yourself first and foremost.
