Was it really your loss??

Question

Have you ever broken up with someone to be with someone else and realize you made a terrible mistake. Did you really lose out??

Answer 1

yes. been there.

i have to make a move to make myself happy and learn from my mistake. i did and survived. i felt bad i lost a good relationship but it's a consequence i have to suffer. at least i had a lesson to learn and to live with. i'm not proud of what i did. but im proud of what i did to survive the feeling of regret and how i used what's left of me to become a better person.

Answer 2

I divorced a husband because I realized I was more in love with the idea of being married than I was with him. Not long after the divorce, we both realized we still WANTED to be married and I realized I WAS in love with him. But I was too hard headed to try to get back together, though he was trying. I had those what if questions for a long time after, and STILL have them on occasion. He's remarried now and has a couple kids. He is a good husband and a great daddy.

Answer 3

There's always a loss. Every person you date has some quality unique and irreplaceable, and when you break up, that's gone from your life for good. However, every new person you date also brings something new and invaluable to your life.
When you find someone who brings with them a quality that you just can't live without, that's the person you try to keep forever. Until that point, love the profits and accept the losses.

Answer 4

I've broken up with several people, but for really good reasons. Never have I thought any of my relationship decisions were a "mistake". It all went down the way it was supposed to go down.

Answer 5

Yeah this is when you are getting into relationship turmoil!!!
when you get into this situation it is best to dump the one your with (seens as though he is not your first choice) and remain single to sort your head out.

In time you will find enlightenment and may even find someone better than the other two!!!!

It is a long and bumpy road to find Mr Right.


Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

i truly hate to sound harsh. but as you grow older, you will see that whatever bed you make is the one you sleep in.

too many people think that the grass is greener on the other side, but it isn't. every relationship and every single person has its/their pitfalls, qualities, and negatives.

so learn from this and don't do it again. and don't become a cheater like a lot of the creeps on dating sites are.

Answer 7

not at all...
i've actually progressed a lot in regard to boyfriends over the years and i doubt i'll find anyone more perfect than my current partner.
i have no regrets at all!
and i realize now that there were a lot of things i wasnt happy with over the years yet i stayed...looking back, i realize i was stupid.

Answer 8

No i never have. I don't go looking for the bigger and better deal (BBD).. and i really despise men and women that does this. Either be happy with what you got or break up and THEN go find someone new.

The rest is just pisspoor character

Answer 9

I've never been in this situation - however, I've been the one broken up with and have heard she wished she'd stayed with me, but I couldn't be with her after knowing what she did and maybe that is my loss.
Good question!!
Aloha!!

Answer 10

No. Each ex was a learning curve to help refine my dating standards. You figure out where to draw your zero-tolerance line. The next boyfriend was always an upgrade from the last.
