Boundaries help us locate the edge of what belongs to us.
Consent governs what voluntarily crosses that edge.
You can have a boundary without anyone asking to cross it. Consent becomes relevant when interaction begins.
Together they create relational clarity.
“I know what I am available for.”
“You know what you are available for.”
“And neither of us has to guess that the other’s silence means yes.”
