LESSON 5 · Boundaries That Protect Love

Ex Boundary Framework

Clear guidelines for handling ex relationships:

  • Transparency over secrecy — your partner should know about contact, not discover it
  • Content limits — practical communication yes, emotional intimacy no
  • No comparison zone — never discuss your current relationship with your ex
  • Social media clarity — decide together what level of online interaction feels comfortable
  • Emergency-only contact — if there's no practical reason for contact, question the motive.
