Dear Lisa:

You are not like your ex boyfriend, you are not that kind of person. Therefore, you will not do to your boyfriend what your ex did to you.

If it is your ex boyfriend that affected you so badly, causing you to be depressed for years, and to be so anxious in regard to the current man in your life, better share about it, share about what happened with the ex. Sharing, expressing yourself can lessen the harm from that relationship that you are still carrying with you.
