Relationships, good or bad, will teach you something about yourself, love or the complexities of dating. And the worst (or sometimes best) part that comes along with those butterflies in tummy, honeymoon phase, and date nights, is break-up. However, you got to learn from that, too, and move on. 

Someone on Reddit started the conversation on what their worst break-up taught them and here’s what other Redditors had to say. 

1. “Live with that person before getting engaged.”
