I should have said something....
See that's the thing, you have to put one relationship down before you go on to another. You haven't put down your old relationship. Maybe it's not time. Maybe it is. Only you and your comfort level can tell.

I see the same thing all the time. People carry, sometimes understandably so, with them the bitterness of previous relationships.

You have to understand that it undermines your current relationships if you keep carrying that old cross. If you're not ready to put it down, just be aware of the fact that you will be limited as to how far your new dealings will go.
