Boundaries are about creating a safe space for everyone to understand what's going on, one of the biggest reasons why people have hurt feelings is they don't say what they expect.

Certainly, you can validate their feelings, like 'I see that you're upset -- that was not my intent. I love and care about you. ... We'll talk tomorrow but we're going to head out.' and just let it go. You can love each other from afar.
