You have to go thru what you have to go thru in order to get where you need to go, I always say. If that means you have to go back and try again, then that is what needs to happen. But only YOU can know. IMO it can be a lot easier and more effective, to learn the lesson with THIS person than to go and find ANOTHER person and start all over again. Because IMO, life will keep bringing you the same lesson over and over until you learn it. You can change all the other players but you are still you. So, those people who "think you are crazy" for going back or for trying again just do not get it.
