Has anyone ever regretted breaking up with someone

[lastqueenofscotland]

I’m a complete mess
I broke up with my fiancé a year ago, and utterly regret it.
I was very very depressed at the time and basically pressed the self destruct button for a while, breaking up with him, walking out of my high flying career, and generally being an awful person for a long time.
A year later and I still miss him like I’ve lost a limb. We had to have a quick phone call over some finances from our old flat recently and I’ve been a mess for the last two weeks. I’m a grown woman with a decent job and a mortgage crying myself to sleep like a teenager.
I thought I had met someone else but I just find myself comparing him to my Ex in every way and it’s just not the same.
I genuinely don’t think I will ever find anyone else and I am in utter turmoil still.
Please tell me someone else has been here and got through this

'I thought I had met someone else but I just find myself comparing him to my Ex in every way and it’s just not the same.'

You thought or you did? Did you leave your ex for this guy?

Sorry back I realise that makes it sound like I left my ex for this man, I didn’t I met someone fairly recently but I couldn’t get over it feeling “wrong”

Yes I broke up with my husband and regretted it. We got back together
and have now been together for decades.

You could swallow your pride and tell him you love him, you made a mistake. He might feel the same way and be glad or he may have moved on. If the latter, you can grieve and move on and won't have lost anything.

My husband and I recently separated and I wish he would regret it! I regret pushing him away x

Yes. I was going through some stuff and pushed him away. When the reality hit me a few days later I was devastated. I've had many breakups over the years but this really hurt. I was crushed even though I broke it off.
However, he knew me enough to know it wasn't right. He gave me space that he thought I needed and called me to see how I was. It's funny when he called me, I had just picked up the phone to call him.. We've been back together ever since.

I agree with the pp advice, talk to him, tell him you made a mistake. He may feel the same. However, he may not. But at least you will know so you can work things out or get the closure you need.
