Diva’s Table Topic: Do you involve yourself with someone who has a history? Stats: In some instances, your partner's past might be of concern: Everyone has a past. What you really want to make a note of is how your partner talks about theirs, and if it seems like they've changed after making mistakes or bad decisions in their past. "Your biggest concern is in seeing: Have they learned from their past or are they repeating the same patterns?" "That's hard to tell in the beginning, but you can pay attention to how they speak about their past partners and respond when asked about their past." One major thing to look out for is how they talk about their exes. But some things in their past have no bearing on your relationship at all. Some things should never impact your trust in your partner? How many people they've dated or slept with before you. "How many sexual partners they have had," "Don't ask if you don't want to know. And they are with you now, so focus on that. [Also,] how many people they've dated casually. You just want to know about their major relationships — if they haven't had any, that could also be a red flag that they have intimacy issues." So, how should you handle concerns or jealousy issues? Wondering or having concerns about your partner's past is pretty normal, so what should you do if you're feeling that way? Honesty with a touch of diplomacy" is the way to go. "Why do you want to know?" you should ask yourself. "Why are you concerned? Is it a gut feeling or are you feeling insecure? It's important to check in with yourself before you have the conversation." "Or better yet, you can lead with sharing something personal about your past and then invite them to share back," "The key is to never make them feel like they have to be on the defensive." Word of the Day/ Definition: Feted; to be honored or celebrated. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.
