And I don’t mean the personal belongings you take with you on holiday .
I mean the one that you carry with you to your next relationship.
So what do they mean by baggage.. The scars from a previous relationship , or the inconvenience of too many children ?

Could there be 'good' baggage, or do you think any baggage has to be bad?

Emotional baggage is not always created/inflicted by a previous partner of a previous relationship ... if it can be perceived that way ...

Emotional wounds can be the result of a traumatic event at any time since birth to the present day ...

Ie . Drug abusers, alcoholics , bad parenting .
They say , if you’re brought up in an abusive environment, you see it as norm .. and so on ..

I've always heard people reference "too much baggage"..the thing is "baggage" is a part of us all...it's part of life..if you don't have "baggage", you haven't lived very much... sometimes, in a relationship, it's nice to have someone who can help carry it...or carry each others...if it's not worth that, it's not worth nothing..

If you repeat the same old mistakes , then Ot can be worrying. Serial broken marriages is a red light , as far as I’m concerned . Baggage can be a positive as you said .

Youcannow: I don’t see a loss of parent as baggage. A trauma yes .
I don’t think anyone has gone through life without experiencing some kind of negative experience. Sometimes it can work to your advantage & you become stronger for it .
That's a different perspective from mine ...

I see all emotional trauma as "life baggage" that will impact the next relationship in some way ... and yes oftentimes in a good way if it makes the person more sensitive and empathic ...

The loss of a parent (from illness) can impact someone when/if they haven't gone through a grieving process ...
