Yes. It's on you to manage your emotions. It's not alright to treat your partner like an abuser because you were hurt in the past. Trauma doesn't give you a free pass to treat people poorly.

The people downvoting clearly haven't been in a long term relationship with someone with severe PTSD. I'm going on 8 years, and while it's getting better, it's a huge struggle mentally to constantly be treated like you're a bad person through absolutely no fault of your own. I'm in therapy specifically because of it.

I have my own traumas from my past, but I work hard to not let it affect my relationship because it's not fair to my SO to take that trauma out on them.
