Setting Limits In A Relationship?

while i was reading an interesting article bout relationships,this really made me think for a while as it does happen to all of us and sometmes we feel so irritating too as out of courtesy we allow people that much which we never wanted or could afford in the first place and another person takes us for granted,and it mostly happens in the closest relations like friends and lovers.

BUT

All relationships need limits whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mate/lovers, business relations, etc. On some level, all limit setting means saying “NO”

but this is often stressful and painful process as people take you wrong,if i say no to my friend or relative,he/she would think i dislike them or ignoring them.Limit setting is difficult because people mistake it for rejection. in case of love,other person would consider,i have stopped loving them or caring.
why is this so?

Put yourself in the same position and ask yourself.

NaTaLia, apni limit main rahoo ! :)

and on serious note, i personally dont like to spell the limits. I guess every sane person always know the limit of each relationship. I think if someone has to tell the limit to some other person in a relationship, thats the start point of downfall of the relationship.
