BOUNDARIES...

A boundary is a border and it can be physical such as a fence between two properties or abstract such as a moral behaviour.
Boundaries indicate or fixes a limit or extent acceptable in a relationship with friends, colleagues, neighbours, even spouses. 



I have personally observed that boundaries are often taken for granted in our society today.

Marriage relationship is ideally the closest relationship in which two is perceived to have become one, yet boundaries are important.

Being someone's close friend doesn't give the permission to bump into the person's pot of soup/fridge anyhow, you might not know the exact state of things with him/her at that particular time.

You visited a friend that resides in a room and parlour apartment and just went straight into the room!

I have heard of spouses who took their partners phone and make cash transfer sharperly*...

Irrespective of how close you are to a person,

Learn to ask for permission. Dear, can I please use your phone?
Let her tell you to come before going straight to that friends room where there is a living room.

Respect differences in opinions.

Show gratitude. Don't feel too entitled that you think whatever gift you get from anyone is your right.

Children are not left out. Let them see the need to respect boundaries and model it to them.

Set boundaries if you need to.

Respect boundaries too.
