“Heartbreak Unveiled: Why One Bride-to-Be Couldn’t Overlook Her Fiancé’s Troubling Past with His Ex”

However, Khandrueva notes that a person should respect their partner’s privacy and shouldn’t feel entitled to know everything about their past. Mahlum also says that “it’s equally important to set boundaries on how much detail about the past is helpful or wanted.”

Lastly, Khandrueva advises to focus on the present. “Do your best to make this relationship the kind of relationship that makes your partner proud and happy to be with you. Celebrate your achievements as a couple. Spend quality time together. Learn each other’s love languages and make sure to use that knowledge to make your partner feel loved and accepted just the way they are.”

In general, Mahlum recommends approaching jealousy and conversations about it with curiosity, care, and a lack of judgment. “Avoid making assumptions when asking questions. Instead of saying, “Tell me about your last relationship,” try something like, “Would you be open to sharing now or sometime in the future about your experiences with dating and whether or not you’ve had a relationship?”” This way they can strengthen trust and connection.
