In the famous words of Hannah Montana, "nobody's perfect." We all make mistakes and have some regrets, especially when it comes to relationships. Even that couple that you think is relationship goals has had tough times, but they're stronger for it. Other couples aren't so lucky. They say you learn from your mistakes, so hopefully you can learn from a few of these and avoid trouble in paradise in the future!
1. Not standing up for myself.
2. I was in a relationship once where the guy was super good at putting thoughts in my head and making me think things I didn’t really believe...
...So maybe this wasn’t really a mistake since I didn’t totally realize it was happening, but basically, he tricked me into dating him and it was a really bad time in my life and so I finally broke up with him and then stupid me allowed him to convince me to get back together. So my biggest mistake was getting back together with this awful guy who was really good at manipulating me.
3. Getting into a relationship in the first place.
4. Not letting go when I totally should have.
5. Getting back together with the same guy, not once but three times.
6. Believed them when they said the cheating and abuse would never happen again.
7. Thinking they were who I wanted them to be, not who they are.
8. Cared too much.
9. I've yelled at and shown anger towards my boyfriend when I'm experiencing stressful situations, which is so not right!
10. Not communicating enough and falling for the crazies too often.
11. Not valuing myself enough.
12. Giving more to the other person than they were willing to give me.
13. Not walking away at the first sign of unhappiness.
14. Stayed with him after being cheated on believing him when he said he wouldn’t do it again. He did it again lol.
15. Compared our relationship to our friends' relationships and did not communicate with each other.
16. Dragging it out for too long.
17. Not caring enough.
18. Easily wasting thousands of dollars on them because they were too lazy to get their own job.
19. Settling for less.
20. Staying in it because he told me I was the only good thing in his life and I was afraid he would have a breakdown if I broke up with him.
Looking back, it was emotional manipulation to stay together.
21. Thinking I was always right.
22. Not letting go of my significant other's past relationships/mistakes/actions.
23. Being okay with being their second choice.
24. While at a costume party tell the girl you had just started dating the “L” word. You know, the "I love you."
25. Giving my long distance boyfriend at the time the option of an open relationship if he told me who he would sleep with.
He slept with five girls within three weeks and lied about it.
26. Not trusting my instincts.
I suspected that he was cheating, but I loved him so much that I pushed the thoughts aside. It turned out that I was right.
