Everyone has their own set of rules for relationships.
Some rules you have to state....because they are not mutually understood. Some rules are mutually understood because you know and love each other and they're part of what you had in common when you met.
There are lots of things my husband would never do because we both think it's wrong. There are lots of things I have asked my husband not to do (and he of me also) and he complies because he loves me.
I'm glad that you're okay, Raven, with having boundaries. I know you will find someone who respects them, no matter what they are.
When the time is right...
Hugs.
ETA: Please don't forget (as I sometimes do) that this is Psych Central. We all joined for a reason...I try to take that into consideration when reading.
I am sure that my own depression sometimes colors my responses...
