You were hurt and upset after that relationship and I'm guessing you started questioning everything I've been through it too but it will get better and you'll slowly stop comparing them.

You could possibly be afraid to go through a bad break-up again and may try to compare current relationships to prevent it from happening again.

Probably because you want to know if there are others who are going through the same bad relationship. But actually you don't have to compare, if you already know that you are in a bad relationship, then you should start doing something about it and you can also use the comparison you've used in order to take notes on how to improve your relationship or if u found others who are on the same page, you can also ask for suggestions.

You must not compare yourself or your relationship with anyone. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. In comparing you are making your assumptions about your relationship even worse. You must first find out why you think your relationship is so bad and then find ways to make it heathy.

You compare them because you think of the worst in the situation, it’s like you’re getting ready for the worst possible outcome. It’s a way to cope when you’ve been through a difficult time.

Searching for happiness could be done in other relationships, but it's not the correct thing since everyone is different and every relationship is defferent

You may compare everyone to your previous bad relationship because this relationship had a lasting impact on you and this can effect your judgements and ideas of people.

When you experience a bad relationship and you do not deal with the issues that made it bad, the same issues will repeat in your next relationship, guaranteed. That is just how this universe works. To avoid this, deal with the inner issues that the past relationship triggered within you so that you can stop "attracting" other people over and over who trigger them.

Bad is commonly associated with fear. Therefore, every time you meet someone new, you are scared of having an as bad experience as your bad relationship.
