What have you learned about yourself and how have you grown and changed (for the better hopefully) as a result of being in a relationship?
What have you learned about being in relationships in general?
What would you do/ not do again?

To be honest. Speak what's on your mind. Don't let your partner shut you down when you need to talk about something. Stand up for yourself. And most importantly, if in the beginning, you get a gut instinct that something isn't right, or you're not ready, to not wait anther decade to find out if your instinct is there for a reason.0

Some things I've learned... to be more flexible, to not make assumptions or jump to conclusions, to not miss the forest for the trees, to be more self sufficient and independent.0

NEVER stay with someone if they change and your only reason for staying together, is that you feel bad to break up a long relationship. :drinker:0

i've learned that people don't change, at least not overnight. they may have the honest and good intention of trying to change- but it just doesn't happen. also, the statement "once a cheater, always a cheater," rings true.
the most important thing i've learned is that you can't put your own life on hold to try to make a life with someone else. if you have to ignore things that are important to you just to be with someone, they aren't right for you.0 -

Invest more in meeting people with better personalities rather than just physical aspects.0

That I should've junk punched him sooner rather than later. I'm more selective now.0

I have learnt:
People lie, alot.
Don't put up with crap.
ETA: I can only truly rely on myself.0 -
I've learned that sometimes things don't work out, but that is ok. Even if the other person is wonderful sometimes you are heading in different directions or have fundamental differences that make being together impossible.0

I learnt that once the trust has gone there is no relationship :sad:0

Love when you can
Cry when you have to
Be who you must
That's a part of the plan
Await your arrival
With simple survival
And one day we'll all understand0 -
That i should perhaps change my taste in man all over, and while complicated introvertics with mommy dependancy might ring of challenge they are USELESS when it comes to creating a household together.
And that is someone doesnt respect you, or you lost respect for someone there is no way to fix that.0 -
What is a Relationship?
I have learned that I am too damn nice to people in general and fall into the friend zone way to fast. But, I don't care- I believe you should be friends first.0 -

It's a balancing act.0 -

You probably lack assertiveness. People like nice people.
To the OP
My past relationships have taught me not to get in one unless I'm truly passionate about the person.0 -
I think I was stupid for being in a steady relationship so young--day after my 19th birthday. I think it made me miss out on a lot. Now I'm almost 26 with the same person and I have regrets at times.0

At the end if the day, you still need to like each other even if you're not necessarily "in love" at the moment...0 -
I want to be like you!0

"Best" friends don't always have the best intentions.
