Is your current relationship being affected by your past relationship?

If a person has experienced betrayal in a past relationship, you can subconsciously take these fears and mistrust into your current relationship and even subconsciously punish your partner for the betrayal caused by the previous partner.

A person who is affected by betrayal in the last relationship can convince themselves so much the current partner will do the same that they become paranoid and push their current partner away emotionally to the point their partner finds themself attracted to someone they know who is willing to listen to them about the controlling behaviour, thus proving to the paranoid partner their suspicions were correct.

If this sounds like you, ask yourself are your concerns about your partner valid?

Or are you transferring your fears and pain onto your current partner?

What is ironic, due to your controlling behaviour towards your partner, you lose the respect, trust and affection your partner once had for you.
