How often do you compare your current partner to previous ones (subconsciously)?

2. If it was subconscious how would I know?

3. I don’t compare my partner to previous partners, but I do compare the emotions I feel to emotions I felt while in previous partnerships, and notice patterns or discrepancies.

4. Subconsciously? I have no idea.

   Consciously? All the time. My ex was a piece of crap. My husband does nice things and says nice things all the time.

5. I’m confused by word subconsciously. Do you mean without voicing it to your current partner?

   I don’t compare my partners at all, I reflect on my own growth as a person and the behaviour I want to be around and accept. Right now, I’m in a wonderful relationship which is built on equality, teamwork, respect, care and friendship and that’s all that matters. 🧡🕺🏻

6. Never.

   Just like how I’d never compare apples to oranges, or cars to computers consciously or subconsciously…
