(#5) You Can End Things On Good Terms And Still Be Friends Afterwards
From Redditor /u/Back2Bach:
We parted as close friends. We still are, and always will be.
I learned that it's possible, even though most other couples I've known parted on sad or bitter terms.

(#14) Trust Your Gut Feelings
From Redditor /u/fallleaves623:
I learned that if you have a gut feeling, it’s there for a reason. I almost married my last boyfriend. But my gut told me it wasn’t the right thing to do. He was sweet, loving, kind. Anyone’s dream guy. But I wasn’t in love with him. I was settling. And the thought of breaking up with him seemed like the hardest thing I’d ever have to do. But I did it. And it was hard on both of us.
But now we can both find true love. And that gives me hope.

(#8) Love Can't Fix Everything
From Redditor /u/sexrockandroll:
It's possible to love someone a lot and it's still a better idea to end the relationship. Love don't magically remove incompatibility.

(#7) Don't Stay In A Relationship Just Because Leaving Might Be Hard
From Redditor /u/turtlecupcake:
Don't stay with someone just to keep them happy or because you're afraid they can't live without you. If they choose to put that burden on you, it's pure manipulation on their part.

(#9) People Change
From Redditor /u/razekery:
People change, you change. If you feel like it's not going to work then it's not going to work. Don't feel guilty to break up because your partner might have the same feelings but she/he is afraid to talk.

(#13) Just Wanting A Relationship Is A Bad Reason To Get Into One
From Redditor /u/ProfessorGigs:
Getting into a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship is the worst reason to be in a relationship.
Likewise, liking someone because they like you is the worst reason to like someone.
You want to date “a person,” not “their company.”
