Being clear in setting your limits helps others in relation to you. If you're thinking about starting a relationship that you hope will be healthy, you should first ask your prospective partner two very important questions.
1.
Will you be real in this relationship?
2.
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to make this relationship work?
That's all you need to create a clear picture of the person in front of you. He can answer with "yes" to the first question and with "No" the second question. This is a sign that he/she is not 100% ready to be involved in the relationship despite the desire to be. The decision is up to you. :)
If your partner will be a part of your life, he will listen carefully to what you have and what you need. If he really doesn't want to have you in his life, you need to set some healthy and necessary boundaries that apply to both parties.
