When it comes to relationships, no one can be perfect: we can all drive our partners a little crazy or do things we regret in the future. These 5 stars have all reflected upon their past relationship errors. Some have made big mistakes such as cheating on someone, while others just say they aren’t as nice to their other halves as they should be or tend to be stubborn or too much of an idealist. It can’t be easy to make things work all of the time and these 5 celebrities are honest enough to admit that they’ve all done something that might have hurt the person they really love the most.

Adele admits she has made plenty of mistakes in relationship and is often stubborn: “I used to think I was such a great girlfriend, but I’m not at all, I have my flaws as well. I expect too much. At the time I don’t realise that. I expect too much but never tell them. I’d never say, ‘Look, I’d really like it if you did this for me.’ I always moan about it but never tell them to their face. And if someone goes, ‘Why don’t you just tell him what you want?’ I’ll be like, ‘Well he should be able to pick it up, to sense it.’ I can be stubborn, very, very stubborn, but only in my relationships. I think everything I do is golden, I think I’m Princess Diana.”
Following her failed relationship with Kris Humphries, Kim has learned a big lesson: ”I’ve slowed down a little bit and for the better. It was a good lesson learned. I now make it a priority to take time out for myself and have private vacations. ‘To be in a happy, healthy relationship means everything. It’s everything when you want to share your life with someone. We all make mistakes. Life is about learning as you go and not making the same mistakes again. Nobody is perfect. I don’t ever try to be. I try to be responsible and honest and open. You have to trust your gut. Happiness is everything, life is short, and you should never not be happy. Relationships go through different things, and that’s completely normal. But you know when you’re happy.”
Kristen cheated on boyfriend Robert Pattinson but has done her best to straighten out her mistake and mend the relationship: ”You have to be OK with your own fears. If you’re an honest person you’ll make mistakes, but it’ll be OK. The most interesting things happen after making mistakes.”
LeAnn cheated on her husband and moved on with married man Eddie Cibrian and she although she has no regrets, she thinks it was a very messy split: “We made decisions that were not necessarily the right ones, but it obviously brought us to the place where we are now. And, we’re happy and we’re married. It happens. I will always say, it could’ve been handled a lot better but maybe we both didn’t have the tools at the time to do it properly.”
Tulisa reveals that she used to sleep with people too soon and won’t now: ”Yeah, I do have a rule… if we have sex, we’re going to be in a relationship. I have to know that I’ve either fallen in love or I can fall in love with this man before I take that step. I’ve jumped from relationship to relationship all my life. This is the first time that I’ve been single for so long, and it’s only been two or three months. I am personally really reserved when it comes to sex. I want to save it for something special. I need to find someone who sees me as his equal and respects me the same way as he would his mate.’ I was younger, I made mistakes and ended up sleeping with guys too soon, then they’d dump me and not want to be in a relationship with me. ”
