Dumpee regrets?

[Sweetfish]

Yes. It was a topic of hers.

 

We discussed it several times an i committed to her that i would propose very soon. I told her i want to marry her.

 

Yes. We had issues. Quite a few actually

 

You really must want to pay child support to kids that are not yours.

Hey guys.

 

Quick back story.

 

Dated for 6.5 years. Ex left me to go back to her ex husband. Raised her 2 kids with her for those years. Was about to propose in about a month..BU has been 2 months.

 

Just wondering how dumpees feel and handle regrets. Would ofs etc..

 

For some reason i cant shake the feeling..if i would of propose earlier things would be different. Its almost as if ..." i gave you the time and you didnt take it" sort of feeling...although i did tell her and committed to marrying her within a couple of months.

 

Ugh...regrets

 

My ex of almost 2 years essentially left me for someone else which was developing behind my back. She said when she left me she was unhappy and gave me a list of reasons that blamed me for the relationship failing (it takes 2 to fail). I found out a few days later she was already replacing me with someone else. I found out a few weeks ago actually that she started seeing this other person 9 days after leaving me. In that time I spent 2-3 months trying to fight for her. I regret doing that. I regret not giving her the attention she wanted because I neglected her out of stress of university (doing a masters degree - doing my thesis rn) and my abusive household. But I try to constantly remind myself that I did the best that I could with the cards I was dealt with. I did my best. I tried. She chose to gave up. She chose to go behind my back. She chose to lie to me constantly about how she truly felt about us. She chose to put the effort into some other scumbag instead of me - making us fail even more. She chose to lose someone who truly loved her unconditionally for some scumbag who does drugs and other **** too.
