@Underratedcommentator Of course we work on ourselves, for a lifetime. My first marriage was for 25 years. We still love each other, care about each other. My ex has never gotten over her childhood trauma. I tried to love her the best I could, but failed her. After divorcing me, she is now alone, an alcoholic, and a gambler. It's hard to watch. She has had therapists, all her adult life.
My second marriage, is also to someone, who is scared to open up. In our twelfth year, we got fed up with both our walls.
Everything is on the table, we are feeling safer with each other. We are both opening up our mental closets. Realizing that our pasts, can have less power over us. If we feel safe and loved.
The self help, in my 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, did not have the degree of self love, and compassion for others required.
Bouncing it off, a genuine loving partner, is priceless.
Back to the original point. We were both hurt, by our exes. How we participated in those situations is valid, it carries forward.
