“I wish someone told me these earlier — it would have saved me a lot of heartbreak,” he wrote in a now-trending social media post.
The 5 Hard Lessons
While the post has sparked debate, the key takeaways reportedly include:

- Time reveals intentions — early red flags are rarely wrong; ignore them at your own peril.
