new relationship - old baggage
| Sun, 10-23-2005 - 11:22pm |
Hi, I'm new here. I just want some advice.
I was involved in an abusive relationship for 18months. This relationship ended around 2 &1/2 years ago. I'm now in a new relationship with a fantastic guy who I can see a future with. We have been together around a year now.
My partner has no idea of the details of my previous relationship, and the abuse that was involved. I do not know how to bring it up, or how to tell him, or even IF to tell him?
I know that even now, what happened in the past affects the way I feel,and the way I react to situations, and I want my man to be able to understand these things.
Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation, and what you decided to do? And if you told your new partner, how did they react?
Thanks a heap

This is just my opinion on it and what I would do if I were in your shoes.....it's like the saying, "Don't ask, don't tell" scenario.
