Do you secretly wish you were with someone better than your current partner?

NO or YES

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Nope. My current partner is the best partner.

In my past relationships, I probably would have said yes. My exes weren’t the best people, and deep down, I was very unhappy with the relationship, but I think the feelings of love negated the deep down feelings of unhappiness. Well, I didn't want someone better in regards to appearance, but I think I wanted a better version of them or the way they were in the beginning. I wanted their personality to be better.

In my current relationship, I am more than happy with how my boyfriend is. He is someone that I have longed for. He treats me how I always wanted and deserved to be treated, so I don’t wish for anyone better. In regards to appearance, again, no, I don’t want someone “better.” He is the "better person” I have wished for all along.

No. My boyfriend is SOOO much better than my ex boyfriends.
I suppose most everyone could theoretically find someone "better" in terms of someone who better checks things off their idea boyfriend/girlfriend list. However, real people aren't fantasies. There's a whole lot more complexity and depth (as well as love and meaning) in a real relationship as opposed to your fantasy about your ideal boyfriend/girlfriend.
There's a great quote from the movie "500 Days of Summer" that illustrates this perfectly. It's when one of the more minor characters is talking about how his very long term girlfriend 'stacks up' to the 'girl of his dreams':
"I think technically the 'girl of my dreams' would probably have, like, a really bodacious rack, you know. Maybe different hair. Probably... You know, she'd probably be a little more into sports. But truthfully... Robyn's better than the girl of my dreams. She's real."

Currently single, but it's definitely not a secret that if a relationship fails, I want the next one to be better.

I actually tend to overlook flaws both major and minor once I'm actively seeing someone.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[Sonorous]

I refuse to even put myself in this scenario.

[LUPITA00]

Why would you want to be with someone else might as well not even be dating them

[crossdressingrihno]

Well I'm single so yes I do sometimes wish I had some one better than no one XD

[tokyolights]

Bahaha I was gonna say the same thing

[devilish-cutie]

im single but when im set on someone im set. even dating im seeing 1 person at the time, i can never date multiple people

[ChrisMaster69]

I think at times people slip into this phase, not everyone but some do.

i know I have and do.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Anyone who says they doesn't is either in the honeymoon phase or lying

[xHoneyxBeex]

I don't believe someone "better" than my current partner exists. That's why I married him. 😛

[20yearsolder]

Yep, problem is I'm married and so is she. We've gotten together a few times and it's amazing

[jshm2]

No, there is no one better, which is why I settled with her.

[Anonymous]

It's about the best person FOR YOU. Not the best person. Because I can guarantee there is always someone better.

[sheikalana]

Not at all. I actually couldn't have asked for a better partner. I love him the way he is.

[GoldieLockes]

Haha, hell no. My current partner is the best and I wouldn’t have anybody else by my side 😊

[TrillXHippy]

[ThisMexicanGirk]

I’m not sure?
I don’t think there is someone better than him but I do wish he knew how to treat me better sometimes. He had a harsh up bringing so he rarely cries and expects me not to

[Anonymous]

In all honesty, even being alone at this point is better.

[Juxtapose]

No, when I get in a relationship I invest into it. If it cannot be saved then I leave it to die

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I secretly wish I was with someone.

[dustybiker]

If you are you are wasting both of your time.

[Twalli]

No, I am with the person I want

[Guslove]

Nope 26 years with this one..😊
