I've dealt with this problem myself. I've had experiences that seemed to keep repeating themselves in my life. Like you, I realized that if I didn't figure out what the lesson was I was going to keep repeating it. I think you have started by asking yourself the questions. What helped for me was to ask the question and then write down whatever came to mind as an answer. It is surprising sometimes what you will come up with. This is only the beginning though. It is definitely a process that you have to work through. It is definitely worth the time and effort though, not only to stop repeating the same experiences that weren't pleasant the first time, but also the insight you gain will help with your future lessons and dealing with life in general.
Initially, it took me years and going through the same experience multiple times before I would figure it out. It gets easier as you go on though. I haven't had a repeat lesson in years. You'll know you have the answer when you are at peace (on every level) with the problem/situation/experience. When you can honestly feel grateful for the experience for what you have gained from it and not feel resentful because so and so did xyz.
I hope this helps!
