So my parents signed for me to get married. I wish they hadn't but that is not something I blame them for.

Yeah, I hear you. It’s good not to blame your parents in this instance. They did what they knew and that was marrying young.
When we’re that age though, we hardly know who we truly are and what we truly want. Many people that is.
So that one I would chalk up to being young. But thing is all were bad choices in men, so what can you do to change how you’re choosing?
That’s what i had to do myself. But then I married a man who fell into my pattern.
When there are red flags in any new relationship they have to be paid attention to or it often leads to trouble down the road with that person. And indicates that.
I learned through hard lessons that dating needs to be taken slowly, and at a natural progression of increased interest. But I think it takes at least a couple of years before you can know someone fully. You have to witness them in a variety of life scenarios to truly see what they’re like in every regard and from every light.
