Wondered about that. I'm not exactly going to say congrats but I'm glad you can feel better now. I'm also glad that I can trust my instincts as this story turned out much as I expected. Anyway, remember the lessons and move forward smartly. You don't necessarily have to swear off anything but you probably should take a break for a while and get your transition settled. Focus on the good and important things you have now and make the most of them before expanding your horizons.
I feel rather lucky I was never romantically or physically involved with the friend I mentioned before because they are the poster child for Borderline Personality Disorder. Look it up - it's rather scary. It may have even applied to your ex-fiance. It was a big wake-up call for me because I thought I understood people until I got to know my friend really well and the rollercoaster of a life she led.
Perhaps our experiences can be a useful lesson for others to be just a bit more careful about choosing friends/partners and assessing their motives. Also remember always to look after your own wellbeing first and foremost. Lastly, spontaneity is good, impulsiveness is bad - A fine line to toed carefully.
Overall I gather you're a good person and you'll make the most of your life lessons. All the best to you in future.
