Why Priyanka Chopra says she became a ‘doormat’ in relationships before Nick Jonas: ‘I ended up dating actors that I worked with’

Entertainer Priyanka Chopra often praises her better half Scratch Jonas, who is her team's most intense promoter. The actor recently opened up about how his previous relationships made Nick feel like a "doormat."

In the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Priyanka was asked if she has any romantic partners that she looks up to. The actress described herself as a "monogamist" and stated: I went from one relationship to another. I didn't take any time off until my last relationship. I usually ended up dating entertainers I worked with or individuals I met on set. I simply believed that I had an idea of ​​what a relationship should be, and I was constantly looking for it, trying to fit the people who came into my life into that idea.

Be that as it may, Priyanka decided to take some time after her last relationship before marrying Scratch Jonas. She stated that she wanted to reflect on the reasons why she made the same mistakes in relationships. She believes her biggest mistake was seeing herself as a "caregiver" and putting her husband's needs and his work ahead of her own.

"The repetition of the mistake was constantly feeling like I should be the overseer, constantly feeling like it's okay to let go of my work or my job or my congregation or my need to make sure he's ready. I gave power in such a distorted way." I never stood up for myself because it was so normalized in my mind for so long. Priyanka shared, I was like, okay, that's okay because, you know, women have been told for so long that our role is to hold the family together, or you have to make your man feel comfortable when he comes home. "I would become like a doormat.

Priyanka also attributed part of her mentality to being raised in a "patriarchal society" where she believes "it's normal for men to eat first and then women".

But the Citadel actress soon realized that what she was doing was "self-destructive" and began to feel "invisible" in her relationships. "I reached a point in my life where I was like, what the hell are you doing?" she said. Like, it's starting to be reckless right now when I needed to be chosen, I have to be because I don't owe anyone anything but my family and myself, individuals who love me. The moment you see someone where you cease to perceive your identity, cease to have your personality or cease to realize what it is that you need for yourself, what your goals are, then you are undetectable. Additionally, I have recently started to feel invisible in my relationships.

However, things changed after Priyanka got into a relationship with American singer Scratch Jonas, who, naturally for her, "thrives on seeing me sparkle".

Priyanka said, "My husband makes me feel so seen and heard, and he thrives on seeing me shine." She also said that Nick is everything a woman could want in a partner. "My husband makes me feel so seen and heard, and he thrives on seeing me shine."

"My husband and I have this incredible 'I've got you' partnership, she concluded. That trust exercise, you know, I won't do with anyone but Nick. I can count on him. I don't trust anyone. He's here for me.

After just two years of dating, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra tied the knot in 2018. The two now have a daughter, Multi Marie Jonas.
