Important things I learned from past relationships

Boundaries are important, very important!

I have learned one should never lose their own identity... be your own person with your own thoughts and opinions.
Never lose what makes you uniquely you!!!

When they tell you their aspirations, goals, things they want someday: remember that this does not actually say anything at all about them as a person.

Rattling off a list of good intentions takes zero effort and zero integrity. Are any of these projects actually in progress or within the realm of possibility, based on what you observe of their day-to-day attitudes and habits?

Do they get offended or defensive when you ask this sort of question?

The biggest take away for me has been....that the other person did the best they could with the knowledge they had available to them at the time.
As did I.
In the end, we are human beings, just trying to navigate life.
