Is this normal? Does it mean I'm always choosing the wrong men?

I can safely say that there is absolutely no man from my past that I'd date again. I wouldn't even consider most of them as a friend.
My very first boyfriend aged 18 was a nice man who did nothing wrong, but that was 15 years ago.
Otherwise, I pretty much look back on every man and think 'wtf was I thinking '. I don't know how I ever found them attractive and the thought of being intimate makes me 🤢.
Maybe they think the same about me!
One was an abusive relationship, but the rest were mainly men who 'suddenly' lost interest.
Even with my most recent ex of 4 years, we broke up a few months ago and whilst I still care, I have no desire to go back at all and don't feel attracted to him anymore.
Does anyone else have this? I remember feeling heartbroken about some of these men at some point!

I don't know if it's normal but I feel exactly the same 😂

I'm absolutely mortified when I look back on my exes, I have no idea what I saw in them! I'm not sure whether I have awful taste or if it's just some sort of permanent 'ick' after the relationship ends. Maybe both?

My best friend is still close with some of her exes and I find that weirder!
