If you want to know the end, look at the beginning.

- African proverb

Whatever you are in your heart and mind at the outset of a relationship is where you will be at the end.  Whatever you bring to the start of the relationship is what you will have to clean up at the end.  You cannot begin a relationship in dishonesty and deceit and hope to experience an honest endIf you run into a relationship to get away from another, you will run into another one to get away from this one.  If you enter a relationship in fear, anger or grief, you stand a pretty good chance of finding more of the same.  If you enter  a relationship in sadness, desperation and pain, guess what?  You will find it again.  If we want to put an end to angry, bitter and ugly separations, we must begin our relationships with the open, loving honesty we say we want.  If we do not know who we are and how we feel at any time, it is best that we stay alone.

- Iyanla Vanzant

I will be better at the beginning to avoid anything worse at the end.
