I've always believed in communication too. Its healthy, and if it begins to feel otherwise, you can keep some things to yourself.
With my son I always felt that I should "share" my boundaries, especially if it was changing the rules so to speak.
I felt uncomfortable with the possibility that had he known, he may have decided differently.
Whether guilt was valid or not, I took a few steps to avoid it.
Good luck...it sounds like you both are on a healthy path
