Have you ever regretted being in a relationship with someone?

Yes a handful of times , mainly with girls’ that are selfish liars that only really care about themselves that have no dignity or respect for anyone but themselves , That expect you to do for them but they don’t do for you. Basically their way or no way , Most relationships start off great in the beginning because both people are infatuated with each other and attracted to each other , without looking at the big picture , but once the big picture shines and the infatuation runs it’s course , usually the relationship hits a crossroads and shit can hit the fan , it’s a 50/50 chance if it can survive. Why people should not rush into relationships anymore , until they really get to know someone and see each others’ true colors Sadly most people are selfish and only really care about what’s best for themselves, without factoring in their partners’ feelings. So it’s best to take your time really getting to know each other before deciding to be fully committed to each other , especially these days , with so many selfish people in this world, that social media played a big part contributing to damaging peoples’ mindsets. Before social media was really a thing , people valued relationships a lot more than how it is today. Me personally is old school when it comes to relationships , but for my own sanity and well being I no longer jump into a relationship with a girl until her and I lay everything on the table , I will be FWB’s with her with some strings attached , but that’s it , until her and I really know we both are only choosing each other for the long haul , over the short haul. FWB’s with some strings attached kind of eliminates the both of you , from having your heart shit on , if one of you decides you no longer want to be together. At least you both can remain friends and move on , without hating each other. So far this has been the best relationships I have with females’ . Men and women do not think alike when it comes down to emotions and feelings. Most females’ do not think intimacy and affection is that important , compared to how us guys’ think it’s important . If you ask a guy what his top 3 things he needs and wants out of a relationship? Intimacy and affection is on top of the list, If you ask an girl the same question,? Sex probably won’t even make her list. Just the way it is. Females’ do not express her emotions and feelings like Men do , we are different in so many ways.

Yes, multiple. The lesson was not about them but about me, my flaws and weaknesses, how I had to grow.

Anyone can get hit by a falling tree, some will get in a car accident. But if every time you walk down the street you get hit by a falling tree or car accident every week, you gotta look in the mirror...

Even if you get into one accident, it's worth looking in the mirror to ask what you could do better and different to avoid that. Cause messes are that... messes... sometimes permanent damage.

All you can do is take the lessons out of it, assuming you look for them and learn. Learning is hard... the deeper the learning, the harder it is.

Yeah my ex boyfriend. He cheated on me after a year of being together then he acted like nothing was wrong and like we hadn't been dating the whole time. Super negative experience.

ohsheeT · Answer

I would like to say yes but I can't because I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and everything that we learn is a stepping stone up to the next Stone to the next Stone so I'm going to have to say no I don't regret anything because it's made me who I am today as long as I have learned from it

HawkPerception · Answer

All of my exes 😂  My second and third exes were decent girls, but at the end of the day still left me. Wish I didn't waste time with girls that left me 😂

PhilP · Answer

Getting into a relationship with a specific person? No. Getting into a relationship at a specific time in my life? Most definitely yes. Getting into relationships is part of how you grow. I don't regret even the relationships that turned sour because I was able to learn something about myself and relationships in general from them. My regret was rushing into a relationship right out of the end of one due to my girlfriend dying in a car accident. No I was not treating her death as non-consequential. I made the mistake of thinking I could avoid the grief and pain by distracting myself with another relationship. It was a bad decision for myself and was not fair to the woman I got into a relationship with. Thankfully she herself could somewhat understand what I was dealing with having gone through something similar and it did not end up ruining things between us. She actually helped me through it and helped me to understand I could not run from my grief. I got lucky 100% and my regret was never being with her but that I know if it had not been her it could have been disasterous for myself and the person I got into a relationship with. I lucked out because I married her but it was far more likely to have gone horribly.

I regretted my first one back in `82 taking my virginity only to be told she was just using me to make someone else jealous but, at least we didn't part as enemies and, although I haven't seen her in 24 years, we're still friendly to each other.
I regret my 4th one for having wasted 6 years of my life stringing me along, pretending she was still my girlfriend when she had already, essentially, broken up with me but never bothered to tell ME, and then cheated on me for the last 2 of our 10 years. That, I CAN'T forgive!!
The only thing I regret about my last relationship, which just ended 3 days ago, is that it suddenly turned into a dictatorship because she was living in the past (hers AND mine!) and decided she couldn't trust me, even though I gave NO REASON to distrust me!! I regret pouring al that love onto her only to have her flush it down the toilet!!

Yes, back in high school, freshman year.
I wasn't even attracted to him or like him lol. Just that he dated all the "it"girls so when he asked me I didn't think twice. But turned out he was 100% a jerk. I started to push him two weeks into the relationship then broke up a month later.

Ughh it still disgust me to think about it.

slickrick6600 · Answer

Oh yes my first relationship I wish it never happened, it’s the only one I’ve ever been in because it traumatized me and ruined everything. It would take a special girl to pull me out of the misshaped mold I’m in.

Ar15improv · Answer

Of course I regret some of my past relationships I regret even ever loving some of them I mean one of them tried to kill me in other one beat the crap out of me in front of my son, not everyone comes to my great place.
