If you ever hear the words "things haven't changed" or anything along those lines, figure out a solution ASAP! Maybe you're being complacent or escalating arguments or not enough date nights or not enough of whatever. Just figure it out.

In this early phase you have to have your guard up and never feel like things are all better. It's extra difficult when your h will bring up the past. My ex constantly did that. I was trying to treat the new relationship like a new one, but she just couldn't help but think of the past. I easily could've validated her feelings but instead I defended myself. I would say something like the past is the past, or I'm not that person anymore etc.

Anyway, take it slow and find time to laugh with him or joke or anything that resembles fun!
