display flex breaking mulitline text box - html

Question

I had been working on this for some days and reading information about display flex, but I'm still having an issue that I can't fix. I have 3 boxes and they have % width and some px separating each others, something like this
[[first box] [second box] [third box]]
so, to do this I used the nth-of-type(3n+2) in order to get all the middle elements and addind the px separation to both sides
each box has two divs, an image(to the left) and a text, but, when the text has at least two lines, the box get missaligned
[[first box] [second box]
[third box]]
and that's not good. So, playing with the styles if I remove the display:flex and the box were aligned, but the text now is not vertical aligned to the middle -.-
.general-cont {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.each-cont {
width: 32.5%;
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 6px;
}
.each-cont:nth-of-type(3n+2) {
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.img-cont {
float: left;
height: 48px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.text-cont {
height: 48px;
overflow: hidden;
align-items: center;
text-align: left;
display: flex;
}
<div class="general-cont">
<div class="each-cont">
<a>
<div class="img-cont">
123
</div>
<div class="text-cont">
456
</div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="each-cont">
<a>
<div class="img-cont">
ABC
</div>
<div class="text-cont">
DEF
</div>
</a>
</div>
<div class="each-cont">
<a>
<div class="img-cont">
QWE
</div>
<div class="text-cont">
ASD
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>

You're code is a bit of everything. You shouldn't be combining widths, floats etc when you're using flex. Here's a quick example using your code:
.general-cont {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
flex-flow: center;
align-items: stretch;
}
.each-cont {
background: #eee;
margin: 0 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
.img-cont {
display: block;
}
