Something for you to be more aware of and mindful of as people tend to attract the same things over and over until the lesson is learned and/or understood.
I wholeheartedly agree with this.
I think we work on stuff over and over until we work it through to completion.

The next relationship will be even better and he will be more deserving of your awesomeness.
