Most women didn’t learn boundaries —
they learned sacrifice.
They were taught to keep the peace,
to stay quiet,
to not upset anyone,
to “understand” everything…
even when it hurt them.
So in marriage, they keep adjusting:
• Adjusting their needs
• Adjusting their emotions
• Adjusting their identity
• Adjusting their dreams
• Adjusting their expectations
… until they don’t even recognize themselves anymore.
This isn’t love.
This is conditioning disguised as responsibility.
A healthy relationship doesn’t ask a woman to shrink.
It asks her to show up as herself — fully, loudly, truthfully.
And healing begins the day she realizes:
She doesn’t have to adjust to be loved.
She has to honor herself to be respected.
You don’t lose peace when you create boundaries.
You lose peace when you don’t.
Comment “This is me” if you grew up being told to adjust.
