Is there a lesson in the past that you promise to do on your present relationship?

Not to remove any obstacle ahead..

I'm still practicing this one....trying to not bring my past experiences into this relationship. HE is not the same man as my ex.

@ImpeccablyImperfect Some of those things are so deeply ingrained into your brain, though.
I have many things that I didn't even know about that I expected my fiancee to do
But those expectations are from 20 years of being treated...poorly by my family.

Like, we don't even know that we expect them to hurt us
and it hurts them that we do.

@SW-User Very true. I find things in there that I didn't even know I held onto. 😕 It's a progression though. I'm getting there. I hope you get there too 😊

@ImpeccablyImperfect We're all unpacking suitcases every day...
Read the book boundaries
It will help you figure out what went wrong and show you what the truth about those things is...
It hurts to realize why you are the way you are
but when you figure it out, you can move on and be the best you you can be
