What have you seriously messed up in a prior relationship that you will never, EVER mess up again for fear of dying alone?
I tend to keep a lot of things bottled up. If my partner says or does something that bothers me, I don't immediately speak up. Part of that is out of fear of saying something I'll regret and escalating things into an argument that'll end the relationship. But it's also because I tell myself it's not worth making an issue out of. This is still something I struggle with, though I'm far less restrained than I used to be. But in a past relationship, I kept my mouth shut a lot when I should've spoken up. And what I learned the hard way is all that stuff you keep bottled up has a way of coming out eventually. It's far better to risk the relationship and get things out in the open than to let your feelings build up and eat away at you.

Won't ever assume that just because I'm doing absolutely everything I can, that she won't cheat on me anyways. Would want to be that deeply in love again though.
Not kissing enough or passionately. This was an easy never. Doesn't make me a chick magnet, but for those who've been there, there will never be disappointment. And, I thanked the woman who first taught me that lesson. She got terrified and discontinued all contact thereafter. Absolutely didn't want her, but had to give props where they were due. It was a great benefit and has never lead to disappointment.
The things I said and left unsaid... Had some major soul searching to do after that. I won't elaborate any further. I think anyone that's ever felt this way can relate
Too much trust...as in showing NO jealousy towards him. I was in a marriage with him and I think it freaked him out. It may have provoked my insecure partner to cheat to prove his worth. I won't do that again. I will try to show at least a tiny bit of sexual jealousy. Not enough to cause a real problem, though.
