What's the worst relationship you've ever been in, and what did you learn from it?

Ohh boy. I honestly regret this relationship the most. He was pretty attractive, but as time went on he started becoming uglier in my eyes.

*1) Don’t Date Social Media Whores * He was one of those guys who took life advice from Facebook and hence, had a rather fucked up relationship expectations. Said ‘bae’ unironically and quoted Vine memes. I’m a really private person and I dislike cameras. What did he do? Take a shit ton of photos of me without my permission and posted it on social media. His sense of self confidence and self worth stemmed from how popular he was and how many friends he had. He was so busy listening to the thoughts of others, that he barely had any himself.

2) Date Mentally Mature People He was pretty clingy and really demanding of my time. He bitched and whined when he really wanted something from me instead of asking properly like an adult.

3) Don’t Jump in too quickly This was my fault, we got together after less than a week of knowing each other. Well, lesson learnt. Don’t think with your dick, or in this case, your vagina.

*4) Have other friends * We had many mutual friends, so when we spit it got rather awkward. After the breakup, nothing remained a secret. So it did get quite inconvenient.

*5) Acts of Jealousy * He had a tendency of making fun of me for having no friends. When I introduced my friends to him, he got really jealous and didn’t want me hanging out with my old schoolmates (who were male).

When I broke up with him, he said that he had a heart disease and didn’t have much longer to live. I wished him the best of luck. Now, he’s chasing a girl that’s quite similar to me and listens to voice recordings (that were filmed without my permission) on his car’s radio. I regret this so much and I hate myself for being with him. Sorry for the rant, I know most of these are common sense but sometimes feelings just get in the way.
