      When having to say no to a guy – I get repeatedly stressed like I’m back with ex. Depending on guy is how many times I have to repeat it – like I cannot say and be heard. It’s disgusting that some men are like this. I am thinking of recent example where I stopped him and said “I have now said no three times” and left room.

      Wanted to put that comment out there as I still struggle with it and the stress involved effects me still. Would like to say these types of this with No stress involved

      Hello StrongLife,

      What you are describing in terms of feeling stressed or triggered by asserting boundaries with men is understandable. It’s not acceptable for anyone to pressure or force you to do anything you don’t want to, this is concerning ‘red flag’ behaviour and walking away from the situation sounds like the right thing to have done.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa
