[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I recently started setting boundaries, but the main persons in my life don't respect them or become aggressive about them. I really try, but it's not working at all. The last resort would be to remove those people from my life but it's difficult because these people include H and other close family members. I see that the common denominator is me - I let people walk all over me, and people take advantage. So what should I do?[/quote]

Setting boundaries is all about your behavior. It isn't about forcing other people to change. What are your consequences when your boundaries are crossed?

You have no set boundaries if you aren't enforcing them. You have serious problems if your dh does not respect your boundaries.

In my case, I would not engage with someone who is rude or attempts to demean me. That means I hang up the phone, leave the house, leave the party, refuse to be around the person etc. Boundaries are useless if you don't enforce them.
