Set a Boundary Script

I need to set a boundary with someone in my life and I keep letting it slide.

The situation:
- Who this is: [e.g. partner / parent / friend / colleague]
- The specific behaviour that's crossing a line: [DESCRIBE]
- How long this has been happening: [TIME]
- What I've tried before: [or 'I haven't said anything']
- What I'm scared will happen if I set the limit: [FEAR]

Help me:
1. **Name the exact limit clearly** — what is and isn't okay
2. **Script for how to say it** — calm, clear, not aggressive
3. **What to do if they push back** — responses to the most likely reactions
4. **The consequence if they don't respect it** — and how to follow through
5. **Dealing with the guilt** of setting a limit
6. **Signs this person respects me** vs is unlikely to change
