What is something in your last relationship that you wish was different?

My biggest disappointment in past relationships has been when I discovered they weren't true to their word. Unfortunately, people tend to say what they believe will make them attractive to those they're attracted to. This leads to bait and switch, with unfulfilled promises. Sometimes they truly believe they are what they say, yet people can use the same words to describe totally different things. Not everyone who claims to be open minded, considerate, respectful, caring or responsible actually is, and the more they insist they are, the less likely they are. People who are something don't usually feel a need to announce they are.

I was dating a student back when i was in Job Corps. I think she started getting homesick because we would spend time together when we started dating. But after like a month she didn't want to hang out with me anymore. She didn't tell me if i did anything. I asked her if she was okay, is she alright, what's going on... And she just pushed me away. I broke up with her soon but i think i should have been patient and supportive so that when she came around i would still be there for her

The parents.

The parents destroyed us.

Kept us apart for so many years, that we couldn't find a way to respark things.

They started pushing their ways on her, and by the time we were together she became too much like them for it to work

I wish he was more financially responsible, wasn’t wasting his money on drugs and making me cover our expenses, and wish he didn’t cheat on me after I did everything to support us.

I wish that she would have controlled her use of alcohol, as that killed any possibility of a relationship, and she was a rather nice lady when she wasn't under the influence.

Being less passive

More open communication

Being honest. I used to dive into relationships for gathering experience and now I have learned that it is about mutual connections. Now I chill my (...) off and enjoy my life to the fullest and focus on the right people. Whomever I'll be with.

That she was much more open about when she wanted sex. She told me "whenever, wherever" as basically an open invitation. But she was always going through tough times so it didn't like a good time to try and make a move on her while she is crying about her dying mom, or how much work is draining her.

And yet on top of all of that, she wouldn't try to initiate anything or telling me how bad she needs it right then.

The fact that it ended… the fact that I was so selfish…

[serious]

At least you realize what it was that should have been different.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I am tired of wishing…

I did everything I could, but the timing was bad.

[Ms_Facesitter]

The fact that it didn't work out. I don't feel anything for him anymore, but not having to look anymore must be nice.

I wish she was more kinky and adventurous, but you kind of have to meet the person where they are and not try to change people. But I’m definitely more adventurous and kinkier than she was. Also a much higher sex drive. It would have been I’ve if we were more compatible in that area.

[MikeTheBartender]

I wish my ex was more financially responsible, more adulting, less social media.

[PointTaken]

Wish I would've waited a little more to know her than to jump in.

[Guardian45]

That our personal issues and families had been more "accepting/accommodating". I think they killed it.

[AsaKyo]

I wish I never even crossed paths with him so high school could have went differently

[strlb]

Hmmm there are a few things should I list them all? Showing greater appreciation for everything that I did is on the top of the list.

[greycadillacs]

My last relationship had numerous issues that kept coming up over and over. But at some point if nothing is changing, the relationship has to end.

[SnowedIn]

That I had had more confidence.

[jamesgoldman]

I'd been richer, probably would've taken that watch then

[LiamJHayden]

We got along okay but there was no romantic spark.

[Agape93]

I wish it never happened

[Bklynbadboy12]

I would pay more attention to the little things
