In any relationship, we are responsible for our own actions, choices, and emotional responses. It’s important to take accountability for how we show up and how we treat others, rather than blaming or projecting past hurt onto someone new. Carrying unresolved pain from one relationship into the next can damage what could be a healthy and fulfilling connection. Healing and self-awareness are essential so that we don’t allow past wounds to define our future. Each relationship deserves a fresh start, free from the weight of previous experiences.
