Relationships require boundaries. Intimacy is furthered by boundaries. We need to understand that love is constant. When you love someone (unconditionally) it remains regardless of the circumstances. Love should be exercised in freedom, when it is not, resentment can develop. In love, Eros, we give love. Without freedom and eros love, it may come from compulsion, we do not want to be giving in due to compulsion. Make sure that you are exercising what you want, your autonomy and releasing your ability to love freely. This will help to ensure your happiness.
