Influence Of Our Past On Our Relationship Or Marriage
Influence Of Our Past
How our emotional needs were met (or not met) in our early years influences our present thoughts & reactions. Any accumulated resentment or sense of injustice from the past, obstructs our clear perception in the present. What we fear from our past can be recreated or re-enacted with our partner. Some of the emotions we express may be quite primal, indicating that they may have earlier origins. What we believe to be a problem in the relationship (e.g. rejection, fear of engulfment, hurt, pain, shame or guilt) may simply be a projection from our unmet childhood needs or difficulties with our parents, onto our partner. This can also include feeIing disconnected, disrespected, controlled or abandoned (see Our Sensitivities - Pushing Each Other's Buttons). Despite being a mature adult we can at times act like a hurt or angry child inside. The unmet childhood needs may render us overly needy or denying our needs. If we rigidly stick to the promises we made to ourseIves in our past, e.g. "I will never...", "I will always..." - they can keep us forever in reaction (re-enaction) and have nothing to do with our current partner. We may for example use others, or allow us to be used by them. If we are having communication problems with our partner, it may be useful for some to work with transforming our childhood experiences.
