Set boundaries to enable sustained connection rather than

Set boundaries to enable sustained connection rather than viewing them as obstacles to it, because resentment from absent boundaries eventually destroys relationships.

Why This Is a Principle

Derives from Cognitive Dissonance Drives Information Avoidance (cognitive dissonance and self-concept protection) and Humans systematically prefer to be consistent with their (commitment consistency). The principle resolves the apparent paradox between boundaries and connection by showing boundaries prevent the accumulation of relationship-destroying resentment. It is actionable and broadly applicable.
