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 have been very luckily to not experience this. I think I may have come close in the past though. I am more of the kind of person that could be interpreted as controlling. I like to have completely open relationships. This means that I tell my partner everything. In turn, I expect the same from my partner. I don't actually want to control what my partner does, but I'd like to know what she does. I think it can be a fine line between this approach and being controlling. I hope you can get over that feeling soon!
