I have a question about the episode 004 - Fundamentals: The Basics of Boundaries and the clip Boundaries vs. Expectations. I feel this goes back to what we discussed before: I get to decide what I want, and you get to decide what will make you happy. If we do not communicate what we want to each other, are we denying the other person the opportunity to consider whether that would make them happy too? Is it our responsibility to moderate expressing our needs, wants, or desires, or is it our responsibility to only act in alignment with our own and to manage those that the other can’t or won’t meet together, with respect and without creating resentment?
