| I don't see anything wrong in you. When someone else pushes for something you are not ready for, why wouldn't you back out? Yes it is possible to establish boundaries in a relationship. You do that in the beginning, with all the cards on the table about feelings, expectations, realiities, the need to take things slow, and to allow a relationship to develop naturally - without pressure to be one way or the other. That way no one can say later that they did not understand.
Of course, all relationships are fluid, in the fact that they change and evolve. That is where open and honest communication comes in. Maybe you find someone and life is great. But there comes a point where you are uncomfortable - that is when you talk and identify a problem and find a solution. It all takes time. I do not know why people feel the need to push and commit so fast. It is scary.
Wishing you the best. Take care. |
