LOS ANGELES - People might be calling her crazy but Anna Kendrick is setting examples as she recently walked away from a relationship without a care.

In an interview with Elle magazine, the "Pitch Perfect" star spoke about the time she dumped a boyfriend who refused to respect her boundaries, reported HuffPost.

“I was dating a guy... He tickled me playfully, and I said, ‘I know that’s cute and people do it all the time but I really don’t like being tickled. It makes me feel trapped and panicked. I know it’s silly and funny for most people but I really hate it, so could you please not?’” she evoked.

However, the soon-to-be ex seemingly thought Anna’s reservations were “really dumb” and carried on tickling her anyway.

“I broke up with him,” she continued, “I knew I’d have to retell the story and in doing so, I’d probably be classed as some crazy girl... and no one wants to be labelled crazy.”

Anna went on to explain that there’s obviously more than that to the story, “No, I broke up with you because I told you something was important to me and you didn’t respect that.’”

Although the actor lost a boyfriend, she walked away with a valuable lesson. Counselors say she had a pitch-perfect response to the situation.

“It all boils down to feeling like you are heard, understood and that you have a voice in the relationship that is respected and held in high regard,” said marriage and family therapist Marissa Nelson. “When there is a pattern of your partner dismissing or belittling your feelings, it begins to erode the foundation of the relationship.”

Resnick further added that it is important to be aware of a potential slippery slope. “A partner who laughs off your concerns about something as seemingly minor as tickling, is very likely to shrug off weightier issues later on.” - Agencies
