How did or does having a boyfriend or girlfriend in your teenager years helped you?

Did having a bf/gf help you any way or learn anything for yourself? And what do you think the benefits of having a bf/gf in your teen years?
+ How old were you when these things happened?
Thanks!

I actually learned quite a bit off of my relationships in high school. Then Again I believe that from every failed relationship you walk away with a certain lesson. I 16 learned to stay away from broken people because you can never truly make them happy for too long. I also learned from the same person, that liars and cheaters are always liars and cheaters. they never truly change because as the saying goes: Old habits die hard. relationships when youre a teen pretty much just build up your intersts. helps you know what you like and don’t like. how to work as a couple. how to mature and make sacrifices and compromise but most dont learn this until they’re older. and had afew relationships.

I also learned how to take it slow and pase myself when I was 17. At 18 I learned from a new relationship that not all relationships hurt. You can eventually trust someone. And sex doesn’t mean you’re in love. After a while physical attractions fade.

And now at almost 20, i’m pretty much a relationship junkie and study it at every expense. I give my friends advice on thier relationships even though usually they don’t listen. I found out that all relationships need a triangle. each corner has to be equally balanced. the three points represent time spent together, time spent apart, and time spent being exclusive. they call this Togetherness, Seperateness, and Merger. if these three sides aren’t balanced the relationship is bound to fail. however all relationships happen in phases even when the phases are out of order. such as there is always a rough patch in a relationship that you need to work through. this tests the relationship and the couple’s willingness to hold on to it.

but i’m just rambling lol hope that answered your question…
