How many failed relationships have you experienced?

None. 😅

3 but I've dated a couple more, but they weren't serious so I didn't count them as failed

Last I checked it was 5

None, I've been with my partner since I was 17

1, it was my first love & I was besotted. Gutted that it never worked out, at the same time it was for the best as I've now got my husband & 2 beautiful children. Still always have the thought in the back of my head of 'what if?'. Now I know what Sheryl Crow was singing about 'the first cut is the deepest' 🤣

I've had relationships that have ended in a break up, but I wouldn't call all of them failed. The relationship had its time and served its purpose. In some cases we're still friends! When I was in my teens and early 20s I wasn't looking for marriage and babies at all so not having got to that point doesn't count as failure.

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, relationships that don't last are learning lessons and meant to take place. For me a couple of lessons.

My ex husband we were together 14 years I met him at 17… we grew apart instead of together. Thankfully It wasn’t bitter between us during our divorce. He was just a simple guy set in his ways and just didn’t seem to want to meet halfway in my interests or keeping the spark alive being spontaneous (not necessarily sexually). We were comfortable together but not completely compatible. Almost 3 years later I met a true partner in life full of love and now expecting our first child together. We both haven’t had any children and are excited to experience being first time parents together. My divorce wasn’t a complete failure. I don’t regret any of the time I spent with him. I’ve learned so much about myself during that time of growth. Also how and how not to treat a man/ partner.

1, my first serious bf. We dated for about 2 and half years. He ended up cheating on me with my (now ex) best friend for the last year of the relationship. Part of me knew this I was in denial until I finally just broke up with him. Something just felt off. My gut knew something was off. They posted together on fb 4 days after the breakup confirming the affair. I started dating my husband 2 months after that break up and now we’ve been married 3, together 8 years, and have 3 handsome little boys ❤️ And our 4th on the way.
