Had he set clear boundaries with Love in Season 2, he may not have been in this situation in the first place. Instead of instilling his own boundaries, he gets sucked into a life that he never wanted for himself (a family man in the suburbs with neighbors he doesn't exactly click with - sans Natalie, may she RIP). In the third season of You, for example, Joe finds himself as a victim of toxicity in his own relationship with Love. "I will not allow someone to flake on me for plans") and keep it within your vision so that way, you can see this every day and remember your value.

Write your boundary down on a post-it note (i.e. If there are repeated actions from a loved one that don't sit right with you, establish a boundary around it. Maybe they're things you've ignored or disliked in the past and then caused harm later on, and you want to ensure that they are not part of your future. These boundaries need to make sense for you. Set Boundaries: Write out a list of five to 10 things that you will not accept in a relationship.And, in a more extreme circumstance from Season 2, had Love decided to speak up about her au pair's previous indiscretion with her underage brother, a less brutal outcome - the au pair's death at Love's hands - may have been avoided.

If that happened, there's a possibility Beck would have never found comfort in Joe as her focus may have been to repair her friendship with Peach. For example, if Season 1's Beck had told her rude BFF that she no longer wanted any part of that friendship, perhaps Peach may have taken it as a wake-up call and changed her ways to preserve the relationship. If someone in your life keeps putting you down, even if it comes from a place of love, tell them to stop. As a relationship coach, this exercise is something I often give to my clients they're instructed to write a list of 10 to 20 things that are awesome about themselves, such as "I'm a hard worker" or "I'm a loyal friend." You too can do this exercise by creating a list and reading it to yourself (whether out loud or in your head).
