The good news is that others also try finding someone they can heal their past with.
Couples become “growth machines,” in the sense that there is no one who triggers emotional hurt like our intimate partners. What they do with those hurt places is where the healing happens.
If we let a partner know we are hurt, it’s easier to get the comfort we need. Rather than talking about the hurt in a blaming way by saying, “You hurt my feelings!” we can say something like, “I never felt pretty as a young girl, and when you said I looked fat in that outfit it felt like that old hurt.”
