A lot of people say you shouldn't ask your friends for relationship advice unless they have the relationship you want. I don't completely disagree with this statement but I think it's important not to dismiss anyone's advice just because they are not currently in a relationship.
I am the queen of giving advice to my friends but as soon as I have an issue of my own it's like I forget everything I've ever learned. Especially when it comes to new relationships. When I asked Caroline, who calls me her relationship guru, why this was the case she replied, "It's easy to see the right path when it is not your own."
We've all had failed relationships. I really hate to use the term "failed" too. Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean the relationship was always doomed to fail. Some parts worked and some didn't. Hindsight is always 20/20 and you will take away lessons from each relationship you have.
Ask your friends for advice no matter what they're current situation. They've all learned different lessons from each of their different relationships. And don't be afraid to ask yourself! What would you tell your friend if they were the one asking you the question you have? You may just have the answer you're looking for.
