Many years ago i had a mc and instead of bringing me and my xp together it drove a wedge between us.
For a long time i regretted splitting but then i met dh and had dd so the answer now is NO but for a long time it owuld have been yes

My friend ended a relationship last year with a really nice guy who treated her well, now she is attracting the bastards, but this other guy is now engaged to someone else, her own fault I know, do you think her regret is just due to the way she is feeling.

Hmmm, recently split with Ex. Oddly enough we get on better now than we did when we were together which makes me feel quite regretful but I think it was the right decision.

So I guess my answer would be no.

I think there is often a 'grass is greener' element, people think before splitting that they will instantly get this fab social life and new boyfriends, but that isn't the case.

Yes. I sometimes think my first love and I (I was 15!) must have (had) unfinished business. I was crazy about him.. but he was seeing someone else (as well as me, occasionally). When I was 18 he looked me up and sent his sister to try to stop me getting engaged with the message 'she is the only girl I have ever loved.. (Grin).. but I wouldn't see him because I thought I had the real thing with the guy I was with by then.

I should at least have slept with him! I wanted to at 15.. we were pretty steamy together.. but I was too young.. and a good girl.

I still have dreams starring thing bloke I always feel very odd when I wake up and remember what I was dreaming!!

I regret nothing. Ended my realtionship with first love, engaged, house etc because I wasnt madly, passionatly in love with him. Was together for 3 years

2 months later, fell into love/hate with DDs father. Everything happens for a reason

No, but I've only had two proper relationships/ sexual partners (apart from experimentation with girlfriends which doesn't count..lol)
First boyfriend I was with for 4 years, then drifted apart as he had lifestyle ideas that majorly didn't suit me.
I regretted it a little as we stayed the best of friends but soon realised 'best friends' was what we were meant to be..
Then I met d.p , moved to a new city and life changed loads for the better, (we will get married at some point..lol) and had our beautiful son, and meanwhile my ex met his soon to be wife and I could not be happier for them both. They are just perfect for each other.

We are all the best of friends, spend loads of time together, and previous history never comes into it. They will soon be our babies godparents.

4blue1pink · 01/04/2006 21:37

very happy now but in formative years was always dumping blokes who were 'too nice' in favour of bastards!

nulnulcat · 01/04/2006 22:14

bourneville · 02/04/2006 18:02

No but I do miss elements of previous relationship that aren't present (yet) in current relationship. amazes me how different relationships can be...
