I do similar things - still have the nasty habit of going "They haven't abandoned me......yet..." and being pretty positive that it WILL happen at some point - as that's what the past shows me.
However. I do frequently remind myself that person X is NOT person Y and even though I may have the same fears, I need to really not treat person X as if they're going to be a copy of person Y. I have to find ways to make myself give X a chance - which is where doing the same things you do comes in handy.
