Abusive Past Relationship
Relationship Stress / by limegreenPeach4076
Last post

...See more I was in a very bad and abusive relationship about three years ago for about a year and a half. I’m now with someone else, someone who I feel truly loves me and someone I want to be with for a very long time. He’s very good to me and has never gotten angry with me, never raised his voice, always respects my boundaries, etc. I feel like my past horrible relationship is causing me trauma that affects my current one and I don’t know how to stop it. I definitely feel like I become uncomfortable when my current relationship feels ‘stale’ (no conflict, no constant reassurance, just normal life, etc) because my past relationship was so incredibly toxic and chaotic, I got used to the conflict and runaround. I know the relationship was a while ago, but honestly it was so traumatizing. My current partner knows what I’ve been through and he swears up and down that I’m not too much for him, but it’s just hard to believe when it was conditioned into me for so long by my ex. Any tips on how to focus on my current partner instead of being swept away in my trauma?
