Boundaries fall into three general types.

There's rigid boundaries. There is semi permeable boundaries or there's diffuse boundaries.

So rigid boundaries, like, and I've seen couples who are like this, where they're just like, okay, that's it. This is our nuclear family and no information gets out whatsoever.

If we're pregnant and we have a kid. We'll tell people once the kid graduates high school, you know?

And then you have other family members who have like such loose boundaries that everything, including struggles in the bedroom and so on, get to either friends or parents and something that's completely inappropriate.

And then there's semi permeable where like, okay, yes, we understand that we have families and we want to share certain things. We don't want to be completely isolated. However, these are a list of things that we are comfortable sharing.

These are a list of things that we are not comfortable sharing. And before we share, check in with each other, right? Like, hey, I was going to tell my mom about us going on honeymoon. Cool, great, but like maybe don't share how much we're spending on honeymoon or what hotel we're specifically staying at or whatever.

Okay, that's fine, you know?
