I have done this twice and both times I was instantly happier and more satisfied because the relationships I had left we're burning out and miserable both times. I don't regret the decision for my happiness, I only regret that I hurt people for it
Never... I don't believe in doing so. I like to devote to one person and try to build something with them. I'm just not interested in smaller short term projects. I guess that deep down inside I really am kinda type of guy.
Yes but I did it because I simply wasn't happy anymore, the relationship was too stressful and I was trying to get out of it before I even met my new girlfriend. It turned out great so far, we're still together and are so in love and I see myself spending the rest of my life with her.
I have left someone in the past for someone new. And I will admit.. I broke his heart which I still feel bad for. But I was with the new person and 8 months later he left me to be with different girls.. So yeah what goes around comes around. I definitely felt the pain that i had caused to the previous person I left. Karma is a real thing guys
Subjective Question. If the "NEW" person that you found is just not looking for a fling but instead a serious relationship, i guess it will turn out to be nice.
no i wanted to a lot cause my partner was a cheater and i still stayed with him. but i either liked my partner more if i compared them or the other guy didn't like me enough to take the risk
Not for looks. But mostly from feeling overwhelmed. The second party gave me comfort and they made me feel like I could relax instead of jumping through hoops, which led me to leaving my prior partner in favour of them.
Always been personality. Looks are a bonus, but not always necessary.
I left a long term relationship but not for anyone else tho. I just left cause I couldn't do it anymore with just being with someone who wasn't there. do I regret it? no but do I want him back? yes
I wouldn't say people leave one another for looks but rather if that relationship isn't fulfilling to them in some way they might leave for this other person that in their mind appeals to be better.
I've left a short-term partner for someone else. I've also almost left another partner for someone else. They weren't hotter. I was just more interested in them.
I had a chance but I didn't took it, cause if you think carefully.. You won't see true love in this world.. The thing is that you choose person and you keep falling in love with same person.. that's how long term relationship works.. unless you do this.. it's hard to stay with same person for long.. without being tired of that person.. So I believe.. if you wanna go for the new guy.. cause there's nothing Called true love in this world..
Yes... I regret it but I've realized that if I leave my girlfriend for another girl then I probably didn't like my current girlfriend as much as I thought. This just happend to me recently and the girl I left her for said she liked me a lot and we hung out a lot but now she's giving me the cold shoulder. So the best thing you can do is just be honest with your partner and do what feels right to you
Since it happened 7 years ago, I've been so happy I ruined my oldest, closest, and most meaningful friendship; but now that you say I should be ashamed, BAM! WHOA!! Suddenly I realize what a horny fool I was...
It took me 5 months to move on from my ex (who was also my best friend before she broke my heart), but I'm glad I did. I'm with my high school crush now, and she's even better than I imagined. I wish I'd done it sooner.
Are you so arrogant as to believe that you're the only one with a conscience, and that therefore, all other consciences flow from yours? The OP didn't ask for my personal feelings on the matter. Facts were asked for so facts are what were given.
You didn't ask about the long term outcome of my decision. You said you hope I feel regret for the low decision I made. You cast shame upon me. I owned up to this decision a long time ago - long before you ever cast your hateful shame.
I'm not giving you "hateful" shame but I can't imagine someone doing that to a best friend. Cardinal sin for the bro code. You should provide more details.
I got a feeling one of my old college buddies hooked up with a girl I liked back in the day. He never fessed up to it nor did I ever get in a relationship with her. But he was careful to keep it on he DL. I figure it's best not to know the truth on that one.
Anyway I'm asking if you have any regrets with doing that decision?
In an LDR I did... The guy was from California and I am from Canada.. I couldn't see us going anywhere as he never had met me up front in all the years so I left him for someone else on a LDR... We met but we broke up after about 2 years

I have done it and because of that I have found my soulmate. I do not regret leaving that guy at all.
Me too
yes i left my husband because he was very abusive and controlling. my life was so much better and happier.
No , but my ex bff did. She said yes to another guy when he asked her out and then dumped the other guy
Ok why the thumbs down? I didn't do it , my friend did. The haters are real in his forum

Happened to me but instead of wallowing I picked myself up hit the gym and got a haircut and now I feel great

Nope. I don't commit unless I see her as an 8. Once I see long term potential, there are no other women in the world. Just her.
One of my ex-girlfriend's started dating me shortly after breaking up with my best friend. My best friend and I aren't really friends anymore.
man I hope you regret that. That's low.

Im honestly confused on where your sarcasm and sincerity split or converge.
I couldn't do that to a best friend, even if he told me it was alright. Anyway I'm glad you owned up to that (if that wasn't sarcasm?).
Are you so arrogant as to believe that you're the only one with a conscience, and that therefore, all other consciences flow from yours? The OP didn't ask for my personal feelings on the matter. Facts were asked for so facts are what were given.
Yeah I was so arrogant to ask about the long term outcome of your decision.
Have I ever fucked before? Yep, plenty of times. But at least I owned up to it.
