Three reasons why you should avoid discussing your previous relationships with your partner

This was never done by my ex. My ex used to do it in this manner. My previous relationship had a higher level of trust. We are all guilty of discussing or remembering our prior relationships while we are with our partners at least once. While most of us have no trouble discussing our ex in front of our partner, it is still advisable to refrain from doing so.

This does not mean that you should keep your previous relationships completely hidden, but it does mean that you should avoid bringing them up again and again. If you’re wondering why here are three explanations.

It may make your lover feel uneasy.

It’s not a big thing to bring up prior relationships every now and then. However, reiterating what your ex used to do and how things were different back then may make your spouse uneasy. Even if he or she does not mention anything, it is always a good idea to be safe. Instead of discussing how your former relationships fared, concentrate on what may be done to strengthen your current one.

It could jeopardize your current relationship.

If you continually bring up former relationships, it may do more harm than good to your current one. Your partner could be feeling insecure and envious. They may perceive themselves as an option or may misinterpret your dissatisfaction with them. Consider what would happen if your partner did it with you. Do you want it? The answer will almost certainly be no. So, even if you’re doing it with the best of intentions, avoid it entirely. Allow history to remain history, and strive to construct a better tomorrow.
