We learn from our past, they say. I've been through an abusive relationship. That often blurs the lines that define my space even today.
To know this helps me not to repeat my past mistakes but the lesson has come with a price.
I have anxiety almost everyday during conversations with friends when simple questions like where are you right now?, did you end up meeting that old friend on the weekend? end up worrying me.
I never had that kind of experience. As an adult it is our right to make our own choices.A partner doesn't have a right to be a hindrance onbthe things that you want to do.She/he can tell you if you are doibg things the wrong way or it ehat you were doing can lead to trouble.That is the only a partner can sto byou but at the end of the day all the decisions will be yours and you dob't need to explain yourself all the time.
