Our first serious relationship is a rite of passage for many of us, and the lessons we learn can stay with us for a lifetime. Whether it's learning to be more patient, more understanding, or more confident, there's always something to take away from the first time you call someone your girlfriend/boyfriend.
On r/AskMen, one user raised the question of what the men in the group learned from their first serious relationship. Many talked about heartbreak and betrayal, but the majority of men shared that their first girlfriend taught them the value of learning how to communicate effectively, the importance of compromise, and helped them gain a deeper understanding of empathy, as well as self-worth and respect.
And while some responders talked about the raunchier side of their early relationship "education", they all agreed on one thing - whether it's your first or your fifth, every relationship is an opportunity to learn and grow as a person. And while the lessons may be different for everyone, one thing is for sure: we all have something to learn from our partners.
