Ok it is quite possible I said something very insensitive and stupid and it isn’t the first time..So sorry if I did.
We try to learn from our relationships whether they work or not.
People who have never been in a relationship stay naïve. they don’t know what it is like to be close to someone and tolerate the other’s idiosyncrasies. Our partner acts as mirror for both negative and positive aspects of ourselves. We really learn about ourselves and life through our partner.
So I’ve been in a relationship for 26 years. it is still going but I have to be ready if it ends some day. It doesn’t make me any better than someone who had a shorter relationship. it just makes me luckier. But I think we both learned a lot through this relationship. Part of life’s learning curve.
