What was your worst relationship like?

All relationships, my worst one was definitely with myself. Nobody has done more damage or been harder on me than I have.

Romantic relationship, it was a stupid mistake with someone who was way too old to be interested in me and used that to his advantage by manipulating me, lying to me, using me, and cheating on me, all while making it out like I was the problem and needed to change for him. I was dumb too, it was clear he wasn’t over his ex and I also took much more than I knew I should because it was my first relationship and I didn’t know better.

I don’t do “regrets” because I’m happy with where I am now, and my stupid mistakes brought me to this place, but at the same time, if it wouldn’t alter where I am now in life, I really wish I could erase this particular stupid mistake. I’d be far more trusting and secure, I think.
