Has anyone had an experience that they really learned and grew from?

I’m just curious and hope I’m not alone. This was several years ago. I’m just glad that I’ve grown the hell up and established a lot more boundaries. It was my own fault. I was a lot younger and more naive. One guy that I once “dated” from A4A clearly loved the bottle more than me. He had this really warped reality that we were somehow a really good “couple” even though 80% of the time he was either buzzed or 5 sheets to the wind drunk, and passed out on my couch. Even driving with open bottles of vodka or 4 Lokos.

I really stupidly thought that we would become a really good couple because we had some of the SCARIEST things in common. But he would always cocktease me and leave me hanging and horny. We never did anything fun together because of the drinking, and it was always an extreme disappointment when he constantly blew off our “plans.” Then he wanted to use an app to find a Daddy so we could all be a throuple, somehow.

Does it not matter if we had almost everything in common? I should’ve immediately ran fast and far? At least he had good music taste. I should’ve listened to my gut the first time it told me to run.

My partner has helped me grow up a lot and open my eyes. Had I not met him I don’t know where I’d be.
 
My own personal experience is when I was 18, I cheated on my partner. I'm 29 and I still feel guilty. I would never do it again, but I was young and stupid and didn't know any better.
