Cheating and trust issues

meg • 💍🐶🐶🌈🧒🏼👶🏻

Do you think a lot of people use being cheated on in the past as a way to control the relationship in certain ways?

(Ie - not wanting spouses to go out without them or to certain places, wanting access to social media etc)

I personally feel if someone has been cheated on in the past it is their responsibility to work on their trust issues not bring them into a new relationship and use it as an excuse for certain behaviours, also being open with their partner so they can work through stuff together if necessary.
