Ask Justin: How do we handle the hard and the soft boundaries?
from Culture Sex Relationships · host Justin Hancock
"In summary, I am scared that I might have half-cheated on my girlfriend. Maybe not on paper, but in the grey zones. And then, that I didn’t respect her limits with my oversharing, because either I was too much trying to be transparent or just processing, easing my insecurity or guilt. I would very much appreciate your insights in how to disentangle that mess." In this episode I talk about relationships shouldn't just be about drawing hard lines. If we draw hard lines we run the risk of 'lining ourselves in' a corner, or a little box. Dividing our selves from our selves and relationships. Making us firmly held, and very unfree. How can our relationships become-other, to make a relationship a becoming? We need soft lines and lines of flight. When we have this, we will see our relationships as flourishing to an extent where we don't yet know what a relationship is capable of. Hope you like the ASMR direction at the end. https://justinhancock.co.uk/#coaching Got a question? Email me culturesexrelationships at gmail dot com or go here https://linktr.ee/culturesexrel
