I have heard that when a man makes a decision to break up with a girl, it's for good. It means he thought about it for long enough and it's never gonna feel like a mistake to him. And that men NEVER regret breaking up with/divorcing someone. Is this true ? What if the break decision was made upon a situation and the situation changed, would they still think it's closed-case?

Hah!! My friend Jeff broke up with his chick 6 months ago and lately all he's been doing is moping around about it. I kind of want to kick him for it because he's being so depressed about it. They broke up because they were doing the long distance thing, and she wouldn't ever come out to visit him, so he let her go, and now he wants her back, but I think it's because he's at the stage where he remembers all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff.
Men regret all of the time. Don't let them fool you!

I do not think that all men don't regret breaking up or divorcing someone. I think there are different circumstances that happen in our life and we think we do the right thing and find out we were terribly wrong. Sometimes a man will think that there is something better out there then the woman he has and he leaves to only find out that what he had was the best but of course it is to late then. Sometimes they do get back together though. Other times a man is terribly unhappy and it is the best thing and he does not regret it at all. It really depends on each man. My man regretted leaving me for another woman and came back to me. He realized what he had at home was worth more then what he left for. I am glad he did!

You can't say "never" about anything. There are billions of people in the world & I'm sure alot of men regret breaking up/divorcing. Sometimes the woman wants out & the man doesn't. The fact is, everyone that walks this planet wants to share their life with someone. Humans are social creatures. Even if some people, men & women alike, don't admit it, we all need someone. Even when you break up and you are sure it's what you wanted, eventually you'll start seeing another person. People simply can't live without someone for the most part.

Well!I am not a man but I can assure you that they also have regrets!After all they are as human as we are!And even if they don't usually show that they care(it isn't like that with all men,trust me!!) they are probably as afraid as we are for not taking the right decision!Yes they might seem careless sometimes,but when something/someone it's really special/important for them they act the same we do and they think the same as we do!They have their feelings,they have their thoughts and doubts,and they also make their mistakes!And sometimes man pride gets the last word to be said and that is a sad thing...trust me I have a friend who is still suffering because of this selfish/stupid man pride!But women let theirself also leaded by this pride so it seems that we are all equal when it comes to relationships or marriage/divorce!Love is love/hate is hate no matter what!

Oh sure men have no feelings and cares concerns and all women are perfect. Of course regrets happen sometimes with guys and with girls. And sometimes they dont. It depends on the situation. We all make mistakes.
In my experiance the few times I restarted a relationship. It didnt work out. Just move on

It goes for both men and women depending on the situation and personality. Also how deep the wounds and or dysfunction is plays a role. But in divorce - the extreme breakup - yup I'd say this guy ain't going back. Especially after the legal system and other outside forces - friends, and family makes you two enemies for life.

Men are no different than women when it comes to regrets!
We all make decisions based upon current information and feelings. We all make mistakes and that is not gender specific, however men do not have as much conscience as women therefore tend to move on quicker and develop new relationships sooner.

i don't think men regret their actions at first, especially when they leave their spouse for another, but if things don't work out and the expectations don't get met, than and only than do they look back at the one they left and often times they do feel remorse, but its often too late, men are good at hiding their emotions, they rarely cry or show weakness. most breakups are caused by situations, and if the situation changed and issues that caused the breakup were no longer there, or they realized they made a mistake, i think they would take a second look at that person they left.

That isn't true. Some guys have many regrets about break-ups. Sometimes we didn't really think about things fully and weren't willing to hear the ladies side of issues. When we do that, we don't give the relationship a full chance, and we see and regret it, usually after it is too late.

You heard wrong. Personality, & not gender will determine this. And a change of the situation could change the outlook, unless the "ex" has already made a commitment with someone else, OR it could breed a lot of mixed emotions in the "ex's" heart. Again, this would depend on your "ex" (& whomever he may be with now).
