Exactly. The boundaries aren't disrespected - they change as relationships change. Disrespect for boundaries is a disrespect of the person whose boundary you are crossing. If you do it out of ignorance then it can often be forgiven and trust can be rebuilt if you show you can be trusted, but if it is repeated, knowing, or as a display of power, the relationships get worse - not better. You are okay with a close friend touching you on the shoulder or asking personal questions because your relationship has evolved to a point where your boundaries permit it. It is not okay for a person you dislike to do those things because your relationship is such that your boundaries forbid it.
