I’m 24 and I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about eight months. He is 28. Things are great most of the time but I realized that I feel overwhelmed sometimes when he texts me constantly or expects me to update him on what I’m doing from time to time. I don’t want to hurt his feelings but I know I need some space to feel balanced and focus on myself. I have never been good at setting boundaries and I’m worried that if I try to bring it up, he might take it the wrong way.
How can I set a healthy boundary without hurting him? How can I tell him that I want to feel balanced?
