STM206 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If you could go back to the day you met your ex, would you walk away given the chance?
FancyFace Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I would sprint in the opposite direction as fast and as far as my size 7 feet could carry me. Usain Bolt would not be able to catch me. 1
Michelle ma Belle Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 My initial response was "Hell YES!" but upon deeper reflection my true answer would be no. I'm someone that believes everything happens for a reason and everyone that enters my life (good or not so good) is there to teach me something about myself. It's not hard to see how each relationship contributed in some way to the person I am today. That's not to say I don't have a basket full of regrets regarding the things I did or said but at the end of the day, each and every relationship, for better or worse, inched me closer and closer to becoming a much better version of myself. And I'm profoundly grateful if only for that. 5
KBarletta Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I would not, even though today I am in more pain than ever, thanks to her. If I had never met her, married her, I would not have my daughter. And I love my daughter more than anyone I have ever met, or will ever meet, and she will be with me forever no matter what. That's worth all the pain I'm feeling right now. KTB 2
Arieswoman Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If you could go back to the day you met your ex, would you walk away given the chance? No. All things happen for a reason and I think it's important to learn lessons in life in order to grow and mature. I relocated to be with my first husband, and many years after I divorced him, I met, in this area, the wonderful man who is now my second husband. If I had never moved to marry No.1 I would never have met No.2... 4
minimariah Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If you could go back to the day you met your ex, would you walk away given the chance? no. i wouldn't change anything. at the end of the day - i welcome every single bad experience & every heartbreak - it shaped me into who i am today. 4
Chi townD Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If you could go back to the day you met your ex, would you walk away given the chance? No, unfortunately, I would have to endure dating the evil witch again. Because, she was the only person in this world that got me motivated to change my life around to prove that she was wrong about me. 4
central Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Yes, I'd definitely walk away if I could know what was ahead.
Stercrazy Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 For it would be a "no". She was perfect for what we needed from each other. I learned a lot from the relationship and the current heartbreak I have now. I know it's going to make me a better person in the long run. And in my next relationship I will be a better partner. 1
PegNosePete Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 No. I don't buy this whole "things happen for a reason" thing, but I do believe in the butterfly effect. Who knows where I would be if I changed even the slightest piece of history? I would not want to do anything that would ruin my current, excellent, life and happiness.
Jonp219 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Nope Although I'm still feeling the pain and my break up is very recent (1 month ago). She's the reason I'm going to therapy to fix the issues that ended our relationship in the first place. As a matter or fact, I hope I can reconcile with her someday. I have no ill will toward her whatsoever, but the BU still hurts like hell.
rollercoaster11 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If I could go back I wouldnt get involved because he is my co-worker and those are some of the hardest relationships to get past..they are there at work and its very unsettling to see them every day.I wouldn't second guess myself and think my office romance will be different from the fail office romances of other people. When the sayings are dont sh*t where you work..words of wisdom. I would however admire him from afar...well maybe not..these couple of months have been rough.
somecamel Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 No, She was in the right place at the right time and I grew with her and she grew with me. She outgrew me and in doing so made me grow up.
d0nnivain Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 One of them I would. As for the rest, things I learned from them made me the person I am today. To some extent so did the things that happened with the guy I would walk away from.
gnick Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 If I knew what I knew now I would go back .even though I tried very hard to be good to my girlfriend she dumped me. If I could have tweaked my behaviour a little; a little less beta I think we would still be going out. Unfortunately I won't get another chance. All I can do now is send birthday and Christmas cards
Light Breeze Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 No I wouldn't walk away. Her leaving me was the catalyst that made me want to examine myself and my flaws and I can say I'm better for it.
erklat Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 No. It was worth to endure to find my place under this sun. 1
seminoles84 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yes and I would have remained just friends as my original instincts told me she wasn't relationship material. Red flags all over the place.. Got sucked in though.
Situasian Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 No as much as she has hurt me, i wouldn't change it for anything because at the end of the day she made me realise what love felt like and i know that sounds a bit cliche but its true. Even thought she cheated on me numerous times the first 2 years was the most loved i have ever felt ever.

And I'm profoundly grateful if only for that. Was going to say something identical to this. I wouldn't be the awesome person that I am today if it weren't for the difficult times and failed relationships. 1
