Everytime my husband gets mad at me, I break down and cry. No matter if he's yelling or just using an angry tone, it still scares me. It also scares him, to the point that sometimes he's scared to tell me how he feels about things. I just thought that I was really senstive. I never thought that maybe I'm being triggered, because of past abuse.
I also have problems with boundaries, mostly with other people though, since my husband and I have had such a great amount of time to just communicate and work through our issues together. Communicating your needs and what is bothering you and what you will and will not allow or don't want your partner to do are great steps in setting boundaries.
