I did wonder whether to admit to it, but I know it's true. They made me harder and more cynical and much less eager to trust unconditionally. One also left me so much in debt that it took me five years to get straight.
I don't know if I'd be a better person if I'd not met my two worst exes. I understand and empathise with some things now on a deeper level than I did before. I can try to help other people that way. But I lost so much to give so little.
I suppose in any situation there are some positives, though, even if the overall picture is negative. One positive is that I recognised I was attracting a certain type of person and I now have a little alarm bell that rings where previously I had a "Oh, she seems nice" internal voice.
How many of your romances turned to hate?

It wasn't worth it.
