It’s not “bad luck” if you keep picking the same type of person over and over again.

YABU , predators are able to check their victims out, the relationship rarely starts out as toxic. Initially they seem wonderful, the toxic stuff starts slowly and before you know it you are in trouble.

I suspect that there's a story here OP. Are you willing to share?

I would say No to your question. We <should> learn from our experiences & as adults we make decisions.& not 'bad luck'.

Your response seems to contradict itself - you say no to my question, but then you acknowledge that we should learn from our experiences and that it’s not just bad luck. That’s exactly my point!
