Setting clear boundaries and saying “no” without guilt is important for growing healthy relationships. Friendships thrive when everyone knows the rules. This can be difficult during Libra Sun or Moon time as we are more apt to waffle and change our minds. If you are a Libra then you are especially challenged to stick to what you truly feel is right for you. Communication is the key. But are you communicating clearly with yourself?
I just had to laugh at the posting on this website. http://chanceencounters.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/women-vent-men-solve/ It points out the frustration from many men I counsel. Often men do not get a clear message from the women they love. Yes we women need to vent. Perhaps you ladies might choose a trusted friend instead of your man. Men just want to “fix it”, especially if it concerns the person they love. One of our male friends recently said there were only five phases a man needed to survive in a women’s world. Here they are in no special order. They can be used in any combination.
Yes dear huh? Okay
Sorry that’s right!
Now women if you want great conversation with the man in your life, then you might want to ensure that he clearly understands what you want from him. That means establishing the boundaries and rules before you open the dialogue. If you need to just vent, for heaven’s sake let him know that is all you are doing. “Honey I just need to vent. I don’t need you to fix it, but please listen.” is pretty simple to say. Don’t assume your partner knows what you need from him or her when you want to communicate something. Set boundaries!
Reflection Questions
1. Do you want clear two way communication with your partner?
2. On a scale of 1 – 10 how clearly can you set boundaries?
3. Do you feel guilty when you say no but it doesn’t feel right to say yes?
4. Name 4 people in your inner friendship circle that you can safely vent to.
