What if my partner doesn't acknowledge that I need to have boundaries between his friends and US? It is important to have our own space and time.

It is very important to have boundaries. without boundaries we are not respecting the other person. This might create fights as we might feel we are not valued properly.

Dear Sindhu, discussing it with him is the only the way he may understand this. And if he still doesn't, you will have to maintain your own social circle and have outings with them. He may eventually understand or give in to the fact that you felt the way you way when h did not maintain the boundaries. If you still feel the need to talk or work on more tricks, connect for a session so that on the basis of his detailed nature, you can figure ways to maintain your space and togetherness

It's important to address this issue in a way that fosters understanding and cooperation between you and your partner. Strategies that might help:1. Using "I Statements": This technique can help you express your feelings without sounding accusatory. Example, you might say, "I feel overwhelmed when we spend a lot of time with your friends because I need some time for just the two of us." Thus, focusing on your feelings and needs rather than criticizing your partner or his friends.2. Being specific about what you need in terms of boundaries. For instance, you could say, "I need us to have at least one evening a week just for ourselves without any interruptions." Being clear and specific can help your partner understand exactly what you are asking for.3. Relationships often require compromise. You could suggest, "How about we set aside some time each week for just us, and also schedule time for socializing with friends? showing your value towards relation and friends.

I understand how difficult it must be for you to make your partner know about the concept of space. Now what his perspective is about space, might not be yours. Or are there any other insights that have made him act this way? The best you could do here is to make him realise how important individualism is in a relationship. You both can have different lives while being together and emotionally inclined. Being emotionally available to your partner whenever they need might help them understand about having space.

Hey Sindhu, its always better to have conversation about the issue when everything is good and you are having a good time. - start with asking why does your partner prefer having friends around - try explaining your needs without using words which are targeting a person - For example: you.. you alwaysyou never ..avoid statements and words which shows blame, our goal is to express our needs..not blameAnd if you feel that you do follow this already..then maybe therapy can work well :)
