I couldn't get past eight months with a guy for the life of me. My dad says it's the point where the guy has decided that he's completely in love with me and I split. (I.E. Let the bodies hit the floor.) Honestly I just think its cause after three months the honey moon stage is over. At six months we had a couple fights or disagreements and I was still pretty happy. At eight months I hit a wall and I really had to decide if this is the guy worth fighting with and worth feeling the way I felt. Eight out of ten relationships I've been in, it wasn't.

I use to hate my relationship curse but after being with my current boyfriend so long, I'm grateful for it, and I learned a lot.

1) It’s okay to have a point in the relationship where you have to stop and think about if you still want to be with the other person.

If you're like me, you won't plan it, it'll happen subconsciously

2) Don’t think about or countdown to your curse.

If you're unhappy, dump them! Life's too short, trust me. Also don't count down or expect it to end. Enjoy the time you have with that person, because if it does end, no matter how bad the relationship, you're going to look back and end up missing something about them.

3) Don’t blame the curse or yourself.

It's not your fault that you can't make it past a certain amount of time. It just happens. It means your not with the right person or it's not your time.

4) Don’t stay in a relationship.

Please, please don't stay if you're not happy. I stayed in an eight month relationship with a guy I knew from week 2 it wasn't going to last. But I stayed because I thought it was going to get better.

5) Don’t exile your friends.

I was one of those girls that once I was in a relationship I was completely zoned in on my boyfriend. That's a very lonely life because your friends will move on and when you need someone to be on your side, all you have is you. And if your inner you is anything like mine, she can be a bit mean and salty

6) Remember that you deserve to be treated well.

"Women like you don't happen so often, never forget about how rare you are" –r.h. Sin

7) Don’t knock them out cold turkey.

I have a really bad habit of this. I learned it from my mother. Just avoid as long as possible or until the moment is right. WRONG! Tell them your not feeling it. Nine out of ten times they'll be happy you told them the truth instead of pretending. That 1% just want to be salty or their acting out of hurt.

8) Don’t get in a relationship just because you’re alone.

I've hurt a lot of good people and messed with their feelings because I didn't want to be alone. I hurt myself even more because of it.

To the boys whose hearts I broke, I'm sorry

We all learn lessons in different ways...And the curse has finally been broken.
