Just because someone owns their part of a rupture and even apologizes and works to prevent it in the future, doesn't mean the original hurt isn't still there. And that is okay. Part of having a healthy relationship is how we navigate the hurts. You can bring up past hurts. It's good to do so. Not to blame, not to make the other person feel bad, but to find more understanding and acceptance, maybe validation? It's okay to want reassurances. It's okay to have your feelings. And it's okay to need more processing.
