When couples struggle to support each other's boundary-setting

My partner and I are both trying to build healthier boundaries with our families but we keep undermining each other — when I'm holding firm with my mom, he feels bad and tries to smooth things over, and when he's setting limits with his dad, I get anxious about the conflict and push him to compromise.

More people experience this than they realize.
