Did you ever leave somebody because you thought you would be happier with someone else?

Question

What was the outcome & Do you regret it?

Answer 1

Yes I have and I'll do it again. I feel that if you aren't happy, then move on....no need to stay there and be unhappy.

Answer 2

I left a guy that I had been dating for 3 years to be with someone else that I ended up being with for 5 years. I have always regretted it for two reasons, in the long run I have learned that I was more compatible with guy #1. The second reason being the fact that guy #2 was one of my best friends. Our relationship ended badly because we were only supposed to have been friends and no we can never get that back. So, I lost out because I thought the grass would be greener on the other side.

Answer 3

NEVER REGRET is my motto. But maybe it would have been best if I hadn't. I left my boyfriend because I met this awesome guy who would bring the world to my feet if I wanted to. My boyfriend and I were going through rough times so I decided to let it go and start something with this guy... after we started the other man started showing his true self (not good) we lasted less than a month and after all that I went back with my ex and things have work well for 2 years (we were meant to be)

Answer 4

yes I was with my old boyfriend for a year, we fought all the time about religion and other touchy subjects, we made great friends but being in a relationship wasn't the right thing for either of us. I didn't want to end the relationship with him because I did love him. My husband now was the one who convinced me to leave him, I am happier now and thank goodness I did listen to him! It has been 4 years and my ex is still sour about me still being with my husband. He hasn't moved on yet and hates knowing that I made the right decision.

Answer 5

I have personally never done that. That would fall into the whole "grass seems greener on the other side" category. My philosophy is, if you take care of your lawn, you'll reap the benefits. If you're really not happy, then leave because of you, not because of someone else.

Answer 6

I left someone because I thought that I would be happier without him, not because of someone else, and it was one of the best decisions that I ever made.

Answer 7

First off never regret a decision you make when it comes to your happiness. We leave because we are not happy, not for-filled with the relationship and seek happiness elsewhere

Answer 8

Whoa, not enough details here. (Is there any other reason to leave somebody?)

If you are happy, stay, if not, be honest and either try to work out whats making you unhappy, or leave. Don't string the other person along just because you are afraid.

Answer 9

yes. the outcome was not like i expected. i regret it because someone still has not come along. now when i think about the relantionship, it wasnt bad after all.

Answer 10

YES I DID PLENTY OF TIMES. DO I REGRET IT? NO, IM GLAD I DID. I HAD PLENTY OF BOYFRIENDS AND GOT BETTER AT THE WHOLE DATING SCENE. I NEVER SETTLED.... I KNEW WHAT I WANTED AND IF THEY DIDNT HAVE IT THEN I LEFT. I REMAINED FRIENDS WITH MOST OF THEM.. GREAT GUYS... JUST NOT FOR ME. DONT EVER SETTLE. IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE THEN TELL YOU PARTNER AND DO IT. YOU WONT REGRET IT. YOU WILL LEARN A LOT ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT AND EVENTUALLY YOU WILL FIND IT... I DID.

Answer 11

sometimes we think we would be happier with someone elese bacause our current mate has bad habbits but let me tell you all guys and girls have there share of annoying habbits. as long as your not in an abusive relationship then just give it some time to see if your feelings cjhange.
