Is there a boundary to giving?

**What I will remember from today... struggling with setting boundaries today.

Wondering if it is better to give and give without measure and hope that it will be a happy end. Or is it better to set the boundaries of give and take upfront first and then work towards achieving them next.

I feel that, unfortunately, when I am giving I am expecting (unsaid) returns as well in the long-term and I am unable to get rid of these expectations in my head! :(

Wonder, if I should work more on my head or work more on trying a different model...
