Why do people never know what they have got until it's gone?

Question

It begs the question where have you been all this time, in the relationship, i would think that you would know what you got when you were together not when it's gone....why is it only when you are loosing something it means more, becomes more important?....let me know your views on this

Answer 1

Example-0 You can love someone, then someone else comes along. You go the other direction, then in time you find out he was not who you thought he or she was. You take a better look at what you had in the first place, then realise you two got along alot better than you though. But he might has moved on , bye then you see what you are missing from when you use to first date them. So think before going into another relation, and giving up one you have. Good Luck Pem

Answer 2

People get used to things, get comfortable, and start taking things for granted. We all do this. You have a job, you make a certain amount of money, so you spend a certain amount of money. If you were to get a huge raise, soon your spending would increase to match. Then when you get fired you realize, "Crap, I was spending a lot!".

Answer 3

I've wondered about that too. I guess that's just the way life is, and people just take too many things for granted and don't realize it until it's gone.

Answer 4

Men and women sometimes, take relationships for granted.They do not give the importance that relationships have,indeed.

Answer 5

because u get comfortable in the relationship and stop appreciating each other and take each other for granted.and when you lose that person u realize your mistake and it's to late.

Answer 6

cuz when the person is with them they took it for granted and you didnt see everything that was being done, until it is gone, then you miss it, you think about all the things......thats basically it .

Answer 7

i hate that feeling it is horrible and it is usually too late to change things. but it is true.
