How Do You Know He’s Mr Right? He Accepts Your Romantic Past

When you’re in the throes of a new love, it’s easier to pretend that your past never existed than to risk retracing its thorny, sometimes painful trajectory with a new partner. But our pasts aren’t cautionary tales for our older selves — they are tomes that chronicle our rich emotional histories.
