Our pasts shape us, Sam. None of us the person he or she used to be, it's true, but what we are still contains a great proportion of what we once were. Nothing, not even suffering the worst kind of tragedy, alters us completely. At core, we are set in stone. James Lovegrove
About This Quote

When it comes to relationships, past experiences form the foundation of our personalities. We come from a place of understanding, and we will continue to grow from there. In fact, we should always expect to grow beyond the person we were when the relationship started. We should not be surprised if our partner's quirks have changed, or been replaced with something new.

We should also not be surprised if we see a different version of ourselves in our partner's eyes. The person you used to be is still there, but the person you're becoming will always be evolving.
