Regrets

[Washedoutlady]

After two years of my DH and I splitting up and after 18 years of marriage and three children I realise I made a big mistake. It's too late now and he has a lovely new DP I hope it works out for him. Is it possible to have regrets but be OK with that? Has anyone else experienced this?

It's easy to look back and think back to happier times op but there must have been a reason you split up 2 years ago? Could it be simply because hes moved on? Have you found anyone else?

Thanks for replying. Yes he's had quite a few girlfriends but the latest looks like a keeper. She's met his parents so it does coincide with this.

Yeah, it's OK to have regrets. Is it not part of life? It sound like you still love you ex? I find myself in your position at times. It's rather lonely I admit.

Yes I suppose it is but most of my regrets have been much smaller. Its finding ways to come to terms with it that can be difficult. I think I underestimated how a separation would feel after being together for 18 years. At first it seemed relatively easier I thought after two years I'd begin to feel much better.
