    True, prior experience does bring prior knowledge of yourself, but for me, exploration has always been a key factor in a relationship, in all aspects. Like, what new memories did you make together, what unique things did you do together, etc.

    Exploration of the self should be a constant thing, and while it’s certainly no bad thing to have some basics checked off, that kind of discovery should be happening in meaningful relationships whether it’s your first or your hundredth.

      Nothing wrong with that.
      We have new things to experience in other stuff of life too.

      You can do it in many different surroundings and variables. Another situation teaches X better than another. Some situation might not teach anything.
      So, you can learn things about yourself in a relationship or after that never occurred to you before.
