What did you learn from the worst relationship you've ever been in?

Out of all my girlfriends, only one turned out to be bad. At first everything was great. But she turned out to be using me for financial support and wound up ripping me off.

I was stupid for trusting her. But at the same time, she had been a childhood crush when I was a teen but I hadn't made any moves on her because she was 3 years younger. She was absolutely gorgeous. So, for the several months that we lived together, I got to fulfill my wildest teen fantasies with her BIG TIME.

What I learned was not to give girlfriends money. All my other girlfriends supported themselves.

The worst and the best. That I need my emotional centre to be firmly within me. That I have the strength that I need. They only I can provide validation and my voice is important. That she needs direction. That I don't care what her ex did or her father for I am neither and don't aspire to be. That she is no better or worse than I and any superior, dismissive, or toxic language should not be tolerated.

Long distance relationships are hard. Even harder when they decide to cheat on you with someone local.

A lot of people have secrets from that they don't want their girlfriend/boyfriend knowing about.

Diving headfirst into the deep end of love taught me quite the lesson! Imagine strapping on your love goggles, only to realize they’re more like blinders - I learned that lovebombing can feel oh-so-good, but it’s as red a flag as they come. It was a wild ride of highs and lows, where my self-worth was as fluctuating as the stock market on a bad day. But, darling, it was the bootcamp my heart needed! Not only did I graduate with honors in spotting early warning signs, but I also mastered the art of setting boundaries faster than you can say "red flag." Now, I’m like a relationship ninja, dodging those love bombs with grace and promoting healthy, balanced love like it’s going out of style.

Sometimes Love just ain’t enough

I learned to never give second chances. I learned to avoid women with even the slightest hint of toxic behavior which also includes any habits such as smoking weed or if she has tattoos. Where I’m from, All of the women my are smoke weed, have tattoos and party and I won’t have anything to do with any of that stuff. Makes me boring but at least I’m not an asshole like the types of men they’re getting into relationships with

I learned that I was a fucking asshole and should stick to myself. That was just the facts.
