I separated from my alcoholic exhusband nearly 2 years ago. Since then, I have had a relationship with a chap who turned out to have loads of red flags. It's over now, thankfully.
It struck me, when I look back over past relationships that none of them have been very good for me. In fact, I can't think of one that hasn't been bit of a fuck up.
What does a normal relationship feel like? What do I need to do to be in a healthy relationship? I am 38 years old - I can't believe I have got this far without knowing this.
I don't think I am messed up or a nightmare. I have good friends and the ones that are in my life are longstanding. Most have been around since my school days. I don't want to repeat the mistakes of my past though. What can I do?
