The sweetness of newer relationships can feel so g The sweetness of newer relationships can feel so good that it masks core wounds that we brought into the relationship. 
When the passion fire calms to a normal sustainable burn and the pain of our wounds is felt, we can misattribute that pain to a partner’s shortcomings.
Sometimes they did make mistakes. But often the pain was revealed more than it was created.
It’s like having an already fractured food stepped on.
With distance, we may see that mutual defenses blocked love that could have potentially been given, had we worked on dissolving those defenses.

While we’re in relationship, pain feels like cause and effect.
They do something. We hurt.

After it ends, and the same wounds still ache, we can see our wounds more clearly.

Breakups hurt more when both people were good, but wounded. Sometimes what we thought were boundaries were actually defenses. It can be hard to tell the difference between integrity and fear. Knowing the difference informs where to focus next.
