What I’ve learned about trust in a relationship
I want to share an important lesson I learned about trust in a relationship and a mistake I made that almost cost me mine. When I first got with my partner, I thought I was 100% ready, but what I didn’t realise was that I hadn’t healed from my past traumas. Deep down, I still had trust issues… In the early stages, I started getting jealous and overly protective over the smallest things and that wasn’t fair at all, she had done nothing wrong. They were my problems that I brought into the relationship and expected her to ‘deal with.’ But the truth is, my partner had never given me a reason not to trust her. I was doubting her and trying to control situations because of my own problems. Sorry for the long post but what I’m trying to say here is that your partner isn’t responsible for healing your wounds. They will absolutely support them and help you with them but it’s up to you to ensure you don’t let them get in the way of a relationship as your partner deserves to be given that trust and that love from you. Not doubt and worry.
