In another Instagram post, Jay & Pamela share their wisdom on Valentine’s week. Today’s topic: Boundaries and how a couple can navigate healthy boundaries in a relationship. They share their insights daily on social media.
Jay and Pamela rose to fame as the couple with brittle bone disease. The reality show featured their love, plans to marry, and how each wants to become financially independent. The couple will hopefully return to the screen. But for now, they are sharing how they navigate their relationship. Keep reading to know more about it.
Jay & Pamela take to Instagram to dish out their first love lesson. The topic is communication. Fans know how healthy communication can make relationships better. Jay notes the importance of tone. Healthy communication is less about what is said and more about how it is said. Pamela notes that the couple used to yell at each other that their pet, Cheddar, changed over time. Every time the couple argued loudly, Cheddar started barking, making the couple tone it down.
The couple also shares the idea of a “time out” as a way to deal with arguments. Pamela shares that when they need a timeout, they communicate a time frame. Jay says that Pamela needs at least two hours of time frame to cool off. But Jay wants to resolve arguments immediately after the timeframe ends. Pamela thinks Jay is like a little scientist, learning Pamela’s habits and the time needed to cool off. Pamela adores that about him.
In another Instagram post, Jay & Pamela share how boundaries in relationships work. They don’t explicitly say “Could should do blah bah blah.” Instead, they give fans a glimpse into the boundaries they follow as a couple. Pamela shares that she has grown to respect Jay’s boundary of wearing a cover while eating. Jay’s autism requires him to wear a cover over his clothes while he eats. In the video, Jay is eating a doughnut and wears a blue cover to prevent crumbs from spilling onto his clothes. Pamela has learnt to respect that.
Pamela also shares about different boundaries in a relationship, like the one with their in-laws. Pamela says her father-in-law does not like people going into his kitchen, and she respects that. She also helps clean Jay’s hands with a wet wipe when the latter says he got this. Pamela exemplifies another boundary. She says Jay is asserting bodily autonomy with that statement, and Pamela stopped helping him.
The couple also sets boundaries in the bedroom, which is an important aspect of a healthy relationship. Pamela says she doesn’t like being blindfolded while Jay draws a line at his bottom, which is being touched. However, Jay likes slapping her butt, and she likes it too. Jay jokingly adds, “That’s why my hand had to stay clean.” For more Jay & Pamela updates, follow TV Season & Spoilers.
