On the baggage of past relationships
Live MintIf you are single and dating actively, having to break up if things don’t work out is becoming the par for the course. However, it’s important to be cognizant of the fact that you are with a new individual when you get into a new relationship. Even though Danielle looks different now, she has not recovered from this scarring experience and says that when she looks in the mirror, she still sees a fat little girl stare back at her. These wounds cloud judgment and though one might think that they are protecting themselves by being cautious, it can play out in ways that can be detrimental to a new relationship. In M’s case, when one feels like they’ve been taken for granted or used, they can try to deal with this by setting firm boundaries, to match the tone of the relationship.
