Have you ever let someone go out of your life, then regretted it?

Question

There was somebody very amazing in my life a few months ago, but I was too caught up in my bullshit and significant other of the time, on the last day i saw that person i didn't even remember to gather contact info, wrote my number on a peice of paper, and left the house they were at. My life has taken many turns since, as has that person's, im sure, so i have no idea where that person could be or how to reach them. Now that i have gained some clarity, i realize how much this person meant to me and how much they helped me, and i absolutely regret not making sure i had a way to stay in touch. Its a shitty feeling... how does one deal?

Answer 1

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

MAYBE this person was only meant to be in your life for a reason or a season. I truly believe life follows its natural path, so don't beat yourself up about it...things are the way they are supposed to be. If she comes back into your life accept that; if she doesn't then it is supposed to be that way. When you try and mess too much with the natural order of things it creates a lot of chaos.

Answer 2

My answer is yes. But then i realized that if it really was meant to be, then things would have worked out. The honest truth is that if you and another person don't fit together, then it is better if you two go your seperate ways. Even if it seem like you can't bear to live without the person, it is best. Imagine if u where to marry and have children w/ this person. After the divorce, they would have half of everything u have and, if ur a man, then it is most likely that u would limited to visiting ur children part-time on the weekend while paying the full dollar value price of keeping them 24/7. Trust me, it's good to find out early on if u where not to be with a certain person....by the way, want true love??? ....Try e-Harmony.com and be patient while u see what they can do for u....

I have been going through this for a long time. I avoided an ex boyfriend for 3 years. I had good reason to, but I have always missed him. All though I know I did the right thing, I wish I had never cut all ties. Now I have no idea where he is. I do believe everything happens for a reason. Maybe someday I will find him, maybe not. The one thing I will never lose is the memories. No one knows how I feel and no one ever will. I just appreciate what have at the moment. By the way, it has been 7 years.

Answer 4

I've never answered two of the same person's questions before...it's something akin to that moral dilemma of wondering if you're stepping in the same river twice...anyway.

Put very simply, you have two options:

A: Find the person. Maybe it won't happen overnight, next week, next month, or next year, but with all of the technology available, coupled with your true conviction to find him/her, it will happen.

B: Treasure the lessons you gained in your short or long time with that person, apply them to your daily life and relationships with other people, and most importantly, celebrate the growth that you have achieved, maybe as a result of your all-too-brief time with that person. Think about it at a rudimentary level...if you never saw him again, what greater tribute to your friendship could there be than knowing that he changed you for the better?

Best of luck with your search. When you figure out the big answers make sure you let the rest of us know.

All of us, we are looking for the perfect person who will satisfy all our expectations for ideal relationship. No matter how we try to imagine good qualities in others sooner or latter we will be disappointed, because we are not perfect. Moreover all relationships in this world are temporary, as you have experienced in this case. But the idea of a perfect person and perfect relationship exists, which means that it originates from somewhere. Actually, if we look for the ideal person we will finally arrive at God. Why? Because He possesses in unlimited quantity and quality beauty, fame, strength, knowledge, wealth and renunciation. Therefore He is the all-attractive person and the relationship we all have with Him is the perfect one. Actually every one of us relates with Him only, but we have forgotten this fact. This relationship is eternal and all-auspicious, because He loves us as His parts and parcels. We are meant to love Him also. This is our natural and happy condition. How does one deal? By reviving our lost relationship with the Lord. In this age this is made most simple by chanting of His holy names.

Answer 8

The thing is not to think of how you're going to deal with it, but to simply just deal with it. And don't forget, it happens to everybody! You'll get through it, if it was meant to be, that person will pop up when least expected...

Answer 9

Yes. Try to find the person and let them know how you feel. If not, self-regret will only keep eating at you.

Answer 10
