What It Really Means To Live And Let Live

Simply ask for boundaries
If someone’s mistakes have the potential to impact you, but that person refuses to make a change, you can simply ask for boundaries. For example, I have a friend who is in a rather toxic relationship. On two occasions, she cancelled on me at the last minute because she got in a fight with her partner. I finally said to her, “You know my feelings about that relationship. I can’t make you end it, but I can and am going to ask that you don’t allow that relationship to affect what kind of friend you are to me. If you cancel on me again because you’re fighting with your boyfriend, we can’t be friends.”
