The phrase ‘Hindsight is always 20/20’ rings true for many of us, especially when it comes to relationships. We have all come across times when we looked back at a situation and realized what went wrong, and what we could’ve done differently. For instance, women in their 40s tweeted precious life lessons that they learnt late in life, or how some women revealed things their ex did that seemed normal but actually weren’t.
A Reddit user asked women the biggest relationship mistakes they’ve made in the past.
