Mike Domitrz says when someone keeps violating your boundaries after you've asked them to stop, they're making a choice, not misunderstanding. Stop waiting for them to get it. Respect yourself by enforcing your boundaries consistently, and let go of anyone who won't respect them.
Is someone not respecting your boundaries after you told them to stop? Look, it's not because they don't understand. You told them, they heard you. They're choosing not to respect your answer. And that is never okay. Stop spending your energy waiting for them to get it. That is not how respect works. Start respecting you by honoring your own boundaries. And here's the key one, ready? Letting them go. Why? You deserve to be treated with respect at all times, and you deserve to surround yourself with people who get that.
