Have you regretted not giving someone a chance/letting them go?

It's all about ego. We don't want the person who once loved us to stop loving us and start loving someone else. I had a choice between a man I had known a while a good friend and a man I had just met (now my husband of 4 years and father of my children) I deeply loved the other man but he had a drug problem and he never made as much effort as he could have. After I fell pregnant with my now husbands baby my life too a swift turn and so did the other mans! We stayed friends and talked every now and then but never saw each other in person. He was clean and travelling the world in nice fancy suites, flying first class to all these exotic places with an exceptionally beautiful Japanese girlfriend who I believe was a model. I was so proud of him and yes there was massive regret. BUT was it because I loved and missed him? Or because he was living the life I believe I would have for myself with this other man (my husband) instead I was at home broke fat and pregnant and after I had the baby giving up my ambitions and dreams of world travel had gone down the drain. Questioning do I really love this man I've married who I barely know, I stated to miss the other man. I married and fell pregnant a second time. I was depressed and unhappy an unfulfilled. But skip to the good bit. It all got way to much I was now "in love" with this man from my past. Who was now single (had been the past 6 months) and now back at home, the day I have birth to my second he entered a new relationship with a woman (I would say girl) here in the Uk! This one was different to the last, not a model a very plain jane BUT he looked very inlove! It was devastating to me! At this point I think I would have done anything for him. 6 months later he's unemployed back with his mum and back on the drugs! But it didn't seem to phase me! it got to much I told him I loved him and wanted him back, I regretted my choice. He said he felt the same. I don't want to give all the details because to be honest I don't care anymore but he cheated on his girlfriend with me fed me all this bs then after I left my husband poured my heart and soul out to him had sex with him he completely ignored me. I was devastated! May I add I had know. Him 10 years and he was a good friend for a long time before I met my husband. Since then I've realized what a waste of space he is! He never got clean! He was travelling the world doing very dodgy shit and he was a liar and a cheat. Do I have regrets? Yes! Hurting my husband believing his crap and ever falling for his persona! He's a con. Thank god my husband forgave me and we are happier now more than ever and I will never talk to that BOY again.
Can I just say wow! I have been feeling like I am regretting breaking up with my last boyfriend, probably because like you, all I can see is him having a wonderful time with his new girlfriend, but obviously these times do change. I keep forgetting all the crap he did to me and I keep thinking maybe things would have been amazing. So your answer has helped me as well. Thanks :)
I read your story, sweetie. I didn't want to mention it in mine, but now that you did--I had cheated on MY husband for a year with this guy I broke off with. My husband forgave me because he loves me unconditionally, and I see where the other "bed fellow" was never worth my "bed pillow," to put it politely...Live and learn...
Strange you should ask this, sweetie. I had one guy who I was seeing on and off for a year. I had a lot of issues with him, and finally, one holiday, he "broke the straw to the camel's back", and I "chastised" for what he did, and how very unfair of him to do this to "someone he claims was 'his girl', 'his baby', 'his love.'" Bottom line was, although in the past, we always had found a way to return to each other, and of course, with his "usual pattern" he always brought with him, that last time, he never text or called me, even if it was to explain about what had happened, how sorry he was, or just ask how the hell I was. I, then, decided to text him one nite, 2 weeks later, just out of the blue, but I must have been "out of my mind," because he never responded back. I take it he just gave up on us, stopped caring, and felt his life was complete without me. Yes, before, during our times of trial and tribulations, I do believe, he had "realized what he had let go of." but when I had "hammered" him that last time, he hinted to me that he was not really "into me anymore," and made sure this was "pounded into my head." Yes, "his loss", as I always say to everone--and I, for one, am no exception to this golden rule.
I let a really good man go and I regret it. I wish I still had him in my life because men like him are rare and I haven't found someone who is so kind hearted, with morals, goals and really knows how to treat a woman and be a gentleman since him.
If you are a truly good person then you are a gem and rare among men (and women) so if that person is smart then they regret losing you
Well let's take a reverse approach.
They might have thought the break up/go away thoroughly, and really realized what they let go off.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
Yes and no. What I liked about them is still there, but what I left over is still there too.

I have regretted not dating someone, but the reason we never gave it a shot was distance... so I guess what I really regret is that circumstances never brought us closer.
I wonder if a certain one will regret letting me go. We're very good friends, he calls and texts constantly still even though he has a girlfriend. I support him more than anyone imo, and I think he knows that. Some things would complicate a relatinship between us (work and age difference) but I guess whatever is meant to be will be?
I was in the same position as you except the only thing complicating things for us, is the distance apart.
I'm assuming those things bothered him. He enjoys talking to me, shared his problems, hopes and dreams. Who knows, I'll probably never know! :(
I give every girl I ever met at least one chance to give me a bj. Really. Every girl. That I ever met. At least one chance. But no one has accepted so far. I'm sure they are regretting it now.
I used to think about this too, but then I realized that it doesn't matter whether they regret it or not. If they were willing to let me go, than it simply means that they weren't the ones for me :)
No because I'm always getting rejected. Women only give the good looking and hot guys chances and reject and or ignore the average, below average or ugly guys a chance.
If the girl becomes too much for me to handle and I break it off, it's very unlikely that I'll think of her again... unless I'm still single and I miss having sex, but that feeling goes away after surfing some interesting sites on the net.
Yeah a lot if times but things happen for a reason.
It do happend when I find someone intrested in me and I couldn't reciprocate ..
Never had a chance... that's good, I guess.
No, I haven't.
