Can a relationship move on if it became healthy after years of not being it?

Anonymous

Hi. Me and my boyfriend had a not so healthy first 3 and a half years. There was lying, breaking boundaries, yelling, arguing, and so on. However, the last one year something changed and we stepped on the road of a healthy relationship. Great communication, understanding, gentle approach, honesty, etc. We are happy in the now, we have truly found each other, but the past does hurt from time to time. We are such good partners that I can't throw it away now, but people keep saying that if there was that much hurt in the past, it won't be repaired ever. I need advice on what I should do with this whole thing.
