    Yeah.

    First, I healed from my previous relationship, so I don't take out past anger on my new partner.

    After healing, I started working on my self-esteem, and confidence. Because out of the many mistakes I've made, one of my biggest were me neither speaking up when I was feeling hurt (or waiting until it got really bad to speak up), nor leaving the relationship sooner when talking didn't help.

    Next, I learned what to lookout for in the men I meet. I watch out for red flags, aggressiveness, and many other unattractive/dangerous characteristics.

    Lastly, after all the above, I started dating someone better.

    I think at least in my experience... what I mistook for being "taken for granted" was actually just the other person not really wanting me or not really wanting what I was offering.
    So I guess the biggest thing is to try and have relationships with people who really, really do want you.

    It doesn't seem very healthy to go into a new relationship with expectations of it having the same bad things as the previous one(s).
    I guess that's why they call it baggage, huh?
