Woggle Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I have no regrets about marrying my wife and even if she wasn't doing time I would never go back to my ex but I found an old picture of us from when we were living in New York and to be honest I look back fondly on those times. She came from a hard background as well and we just connected. We were both two lost souls against the world living very wildly in the city. We used to watch Natural Born Killers and pretend it was us. I still wonder if things would have went downhill if we stayed in New York. It seems that things started to go downhill when we moved to New Jersey and she was bored. That is what caused her to go completely off the deep end. I now have a stable woman in my life that I can run around and be wild with so no regrets on my part but it is just sad how this whole thing ended.
blind_otter Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Well yeah woggle, I think everyone has moments like that. I think it's more like, you're sad that everything that you put your hopes in, at that time, just exploded in your face. I feel that way about my now-defunct marriage as well. I regret that we didn't realize our hopes, I mean, that's why we got married in the first place, isn't it? Because we hoped that it would end with "and they lived happily ever after".... It's like you're mourning the loss of that innocence that you had back then. The death of a dream. Not necessarily the person that you were with, per se. Does that make sense?
Tony T Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I think things always go downhill when people move to New Jersey.
Author Woggle Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 I think things always go downhill when people move to New Jersey. You may have a point. Both my wife and I can't wait to get out of here.
2sunny Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Try being married for 20 years - only to find out he cheated - again. Life was perfect, and he still wasn't happy. What would have been? Yep, I wonder. It's easier to NOT wonder if he'll cheat again though... We must continue to look forward. Memories are just that, better left there....
a4a Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I think things always go downhill when people move to New Jersey. :lmao: Word! I have never sat and wondered about what would be with an X. Nope. That was then and this is now.
Sally00 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Mourn? No. Ever WONDER what would've happened? Yes. My ex told me yesterday how much he was sorry for hurting me before. He said he was thinking about it for the past month... and we were together a year ago. I thought that was very sweet of him. It shows how much he matured. And I appreciated him opening up to me like that. We've been friends and still are. To be honest, if I wasn't with my boyfriend now and we both still had the same feelings as a year ago, I'd probably consider being with him again.
quankanne Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 curiosity, yes. Mourning, no. It ended for a reason, no use wishing it back.
Mz. Pixie Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Yeah, I think about the past but not with remorse more just nostalgia. Kinda like "Remember when?"
blind_otter Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Yeah, I think about the past but not with remorse more just nostalgia. Kinda like "Remember when?" ah haaaa! that was the words I couldn't think of this morning. nostalgia. I hate that "tip of the tongue" phenomena....
