Have you ever had such an experience? I mean, after a relationship ends, have you realized how precious that person is to you? In such a situation, is it better to try to forget or try again? Please share your opinions about you don't know what you have until it's gone relationships.
If I let myself dwell on it, regret that I have over a breakup would literally ruin my life. If I had married the first person who asked me, decades of heartbreak would have been avoided. I loved him and love him still, but he was sent far away with the Army back then. There were no cell phones or email, just letters. I got too lonely and broke it off. Wish I had just waited.
A quote from Downton Abbey expresses what I think:
"He's a good man, and good men aren't like buses. There's not going to be another one along in ten minutes' time."
I am not patting myself on the back but most of my ex girlfriends have tried getting me back after they realized how good I was to them but to bad for them , cuz I don’t take exes back , if she couldn’t commit to me the same way I committed to her then that’s her loss is How I look at it , I take commitment seriously , when o commit to a girl I am in it for the long haul if things go bad I try to fix it , if she still chooses to walk away then to me that’s her decision and her choice , she had her chance and she blew it is how I look at it
Yes, I've been in such a situation and we are now together again and have been for a while. We moved our relationship to the next level. I think it can happen when there are outward pressures or sacrifices that you both think ate not worth making, such as moving to a different city or going ahead with a divorce. You may then realize that you should make a greater effort to enable the relationship.
If by contrast there are unresolved issues between you the feeling can be deceptive. You get back together and the same trouble starts again.
Yes I am experiencing that now and it is quite a painful experience. I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy. To have something so precious you didn't realize just how precious until it's gone, is incredibly sad and heartbreaking.

It has only happened to me once before, in my second relationship ever. It was sobering, and helped me never take a partner for granted again. It never happened since. I learned my lesson. I make sure that I appreciate who I’m with and I never take them for granted.
Yes. She probably would have been my wife right now if hadn’t taken her for granted. One of my big disappointments. We went to college together, after I graduated I found her on Facebook and I tried to get her back with no success. She probably is married with kids by now. It is what is. You live and learn.
Yes, I have. I treated her badly assuming she was just playing me until she honestly left me. It happened because I was frightened to open up to her because of my last relationships. When I think of her now, she was the only girl who was being honest with me. At this point, I am so afraid to handle a relationship. I tend to sabotage them very easily.
Girls are usually the ones who gamble relationships away. Guys are either idiots or caring - idiots can't even start, the caring types don't wreck anyone's feelings, let alone anyone's life, like girls do.
That’s when you think with your heart only.
Brain takes you longer in life and most likely never fail you.
No, I have always been single so never experienced anything like that.
I haven't, but Tom Keifer has:
No, I usually stayed in the relationship way to long.
No , if it ended it ended for a good reason. I dont believe in going backwards.
Only once really. That's why I've chosen to stay single. I KNOW I'll never find another woman that good again.
i have and when i came to realize how good it was she had already moved forward
all relationships are like that
