Hmm mine would probably be:
-It's not worth it to be with someone I'm not absolutely sure about
-Being open-minded about potential relationships is pretty much always helpful
-Breakups are not the end of the world even though it may feel like it
-If I really truly care about someone, it's worth the hard times.
-Always always make sure that the relationship is give AND take on both ends
-Communication is key. Don't hold your feelings back, because it only ends up hurting both of you. Arguments are healthy when you can learn to end them with a compromise and new understanding.
-It's always good to keep a friend close at hand and informed about the situation so you can always have an honest, objective opinion :]

I haven't had much experience, but those lessons have still helped me a lot, and I'm sure there's a lot more to learn lol.
It's a lot easier now for me to remind myself to look at things objectively every once in a while, so I don't get caught up in the whole "He's perfect and I love him and I need him" feeling.
Buut I still refuse to go with what most people say about not making someone your "everything" because that's just the way I do things. When I love someone, it's all of me. If I hold back for fear of getting hurt if/when they leave, I'll just regret it.
I've learned you can live through the pain of losing someone, no matter how much you loved them, so you might as well give it all you've got. :]

I would have to say, the biggest thing?

Learning that we are all human, and that everybody makes mistakes in life. It's just a matter of getting past them, deal with them together, and not getting upset when another person makes a mistake, because once again they are only human. We are not all perfect. Especially not all the time. All we can do for each other is the best we can do. That's what I've learned from my personal experience with women. That yes you are going to make mistakes, though learn from those mistakes, do what you can to not make them again in your future realationships, use it to better thy self, and you will achive harmony.

I have learned a few things in my relationship, guys respect you more if you tell them how you really feel about a situation rather than going along with what they say just to avoid an arguement and not to be forcefull but not be too clingy.

-One relationship I was in for three years I was competely layed back and never really told him how I really felt about his ways and I went along with everything he told me because I didn't want any arguments because I thought arguements were one way ticket to being single.then I found out he was sleeping with my friends behind my back and some members of my cheerleading squad. I was devastated because he told me he loved me. He had always said it but I never made him prove it.

I put off relationships for a while and just stuck to "casual dating" until I met the guy I'm with now

-The relationship I am in now.we argue a lot because we both have differences but at the end of the day we both feel better because we both get our opinions accross.He respects me more because I tell him how I REALLY feel about a situation instead of going along with what he says.

never be in denial. be objective about the relationship and listen to your friends oppinions. communication is also key and if he's not putting in the effort why bother

I learned from my past bad realtionship a lot of things:
- Never give give give without recieving sometimes
- Compormise is important
- Don't forget to take care of you and don't let the relationship define you
-There's a difference between constructive criticizing and being abusive
- Trust is very important

I am now engaget to the most amazing guy ever. I have known him for 4 years and I just have a healthy relationship filled with balance. It's more than I could ever hope for. I appreciate him much more thanks to my ex.

You never make someone your everything, because if they leave; you will have nothing.

I love my current bf, but I still keep my distance in certain ways and he does the same things too.

Yes, treat us equal in every way, even if it causes us problems

No, we should get equality when we want it, but preferential treatment other times.
