Something that I wish I had learned sooner would be how to let go of a toxic relationship. My last relationship ended a year and a half after it should have because I didn't have the heart to let it go. She would say things like "If you love me, you would make it work" or "If you leave me I will drive home and crash my car on the way there." Things that would make me feel guilty even though I hadn't done anything wrong. I was getting caught up in work, studying for my RN licence, and spending time with my family. Our personalities could not be more opposite. She would rather cut off her friends to spend time with me and typically only spent one night a week at her own house. I think that I can be more independent, free spirited, and spontaneous; qualities that were not compatible with her rigid views of the world. Things would be fine for a few days before they would escalate to a situation that usually involved her saying she was leaving and me feeling bad for my personality and busy schedule. I'm glad that its done now but I wish I had learned how to say enough is enough sooner.
