que bueno por conocer

The best translation for this phrase would be something like "better the devil you know:

As many of my friends know, I've been considering getting back together with my ex-boyfriend. He's mildly unstable, has a mild mental illness, and is showing some warning signs of alcoholism.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I love him, but I do care about him. He's thoughtful, sweet, but more importantly I know what to expect. I'm a little weary of starting from scratch. My track record isn't spectacular. 

I am a magnet for guys that are bad for me. Or maybe guys that are bad for me are for me. I'm not sure who attracts what, but I don't want to jump into the unknown because by the time I figure out he has a second family/ has a drug problem/ is an illegal immigrant/ worships the devil/ is the a wanted felon, I'm too emotionally invested to let go.

With the ex, I'm aware of most of his problems. He frequently tells me that he loves me and misses me. He makes me feel appreciated. There's no fireworks or birds singing when we kiss, but I'm also not in fear for my life.

We worked through some problems in the past and if he goes back to his lying, cheating, cold, dead-beating, two-timing, double dealing, mean, mistreating ways, I'm gone and this would be the last time we break up.

I said that the last time we broke up, but this time I mean it.
