FAQ

How do I set a boundary without sounding harsh?

Use clear, “I” statements focused on your needs (e.g., “I’m not ready for that yet”) and offer an alternative when possible. Calm, specific language makes it easier for others to respond respectfully.

What should I do if a character or partner crosses my boundary?

In real life, prioritize safety and remove yourself if needed; seek support from friends or authorities. In-app, use available choices like ‘pause’ or ‘report’ and look for scenes that address the issue or offer aftercare and reconciliation options.

Are boundaries the same as dealbreakers?

Not always. Boundaries are personal limits that can sometimes be negotiated or adjusted; dealbreakers are non-negotiable values or behaviors that indicate the relationship isn’t a fit.

How do differing boundaries get resolved between partners?

Through open conversation, mutual respect, and compromise—finding overlap or alternatives that meet both people’s needs. If there’s no workable solution, it may indicate incompatible expectations.
