Have you ever been in a situation where you have gotten annoyed and really angry with your partner over something that you would normally think is small and unimportant? Maybe there is something more to it and previous relationships are affecting you in a way that is making you fearful and insecure in your relationship. Everyone has a need to be loved, supported, understood, and cared for by their partners and/or parents. When something happens to threaten that safety and security, we can become sensitive to things that might indicate that we could be hurt again. Sometimes it is important to evaluate whether or not the things that are hard in your relationship are real “deal breakers” or if they are worth “the price of admission”.
