YAGT: Why do you only realize you had a good thing when it is gone?

[eits]

yeah, that feeling sucks...

my advice = try your best to get over it. the best way is to just realize that it's part of life, so you might as well learn from it and try to not let it bother you. why waste life moping about it? life's too short for drama.

 

[eits]

it's almost ALWAYS our fault... i'm not being facetious when i say that, either. it's like we either try too hard or not hard enough and it just blows up in our face.

move on

OP, welcome to the club bro! Seriously, if I penned my feelings then I would likely have wrote exactly what you wrote. Although in my case, last relationship was 5 years long and ended two years ago. But the feelings never really die... TWO YEARS in my case... yesterday I find out she's pregnant. Felt like day one all over again. You never really get over an ex, but you do learn from them... sometimes painfully. Gotta keep moving forward... adapt or die, that's what it boils down to.

... because after 3 months your brain has forgotten how much of a pain in the ass she was?

I kid, I kid

Seriously, when you reflect on the past, it's very natural for you to subconsciously weed out the negative thoughts and only recall the positive ones. Everything looks great in the rear view mirror. It's human nature.

Ouch... I can relate. Well get a load of this... she dumps me; dates my friend for one year and gets engaged. Then... WITHIN TWO WEEKS: breaks off the engagement with him, dumps him, moves to Arizona, meets redneck white trash dude who works at a beer factory, marries him, gets knocked up. This was in May. Yesterday I found out she's 5 months along, so yeah... that knocked up-ness also happened in that two week tour. give or take.

haha that's better... i wish my ex did that. that way, i could have laughed about it instead of gotten depressed.

my ex was pretty much the same person as when i was with her, except dated some redneck who had aspirations of being a zookeeper (yeah... he got a degree in wildlife conservation... basically, all he ever did was hunt deer). she started seeing him two weeks after we broke up.

Because it's easy to remember the good and forget the bad.

 

[SpanishFry]

I went through the same thing. It's only because she's interested in someone else now.

Move on! Don't undo everything, keep making progress and go out and meet some people.

"Why do you only realize you had a good thing when it is gone?"

because when you have it you take it for granted.

Live and learn...that's life.
