    Ok so I'm going unreg for this. I am about to get married and life is great. I marrying my dream girl and it couldn't be better...except for one thing.

    I was with my ex from 18 to 25 (im now 32) and she has shaped the way I am in a relationship to the point where it is causing serious problems.
    Every argument we have is generally me reacting to something my current partner says in a way that I would have with my ex. She was manipulative and controlling to the point where i nearly lost lifelong friends because she forbade me to see them. Every thing was drama and it got to the stage where I became so timid and subservient that i lost any sense of who i actually was.
    My current partner is the opposite. we have our life together but we also have our friends and most importantly we have our own opinions on things.

    But I think the fact that i spent so much of my formative years with the ex has shaped me and it has me wired to react to a situation the wrong way....

    So...how do I shake this off and just be me in a normal loving relationship?????
