Do you ever regret leaving?

detroitblondie · July 2011

Do you ever have moments where you regret leaving your SO? If so, what usually sparks the feelings of regret? Overall, are you happy with your decision to leave & why? I'm on the fence about leaving on a pretty regular basis and I would just like to hear from you ladies that have braved the path ahead of me. Thanks.

I have a party every year on the anniversary of my divorce. So I'll say, "Heck no!" Wink

Although my ex and I were not "together" at the time I got pregnant, we did try to get back together and it only lasted a month.

IMO, if there's a child involved and there's any sort of abuse be it physical, verbal, emotional there should be no question. I understand it's hard but remember, two happy parents living separatly are better than two miserable ones together.

Well ex left me when I was pregnant and it was hard then, but now I love being without him. I don't have to worry where he is or who he is with. It feels great!

Part of me regrets leaving him cause I'm completely in love with him but he just wouldn't grow up and now he's gone completely the opposite way instead of changing. It breaks my heart but I can no longer believe or trust in him.

I got pregnant when my ex and I were on a break. I didn't find out until about a month after I broke up with him. In the beginning, I'm not gonna lie, I did think about possibly getting back together in the future but after he found out I was pregnant he totally changed. He has shown that he's a p**** and is just a waste of life. I don't regret leaving him, he drove me insane and did whatever to try and get me to abort. It got to the point where I got a restraining order put on him, yes that bad. I'm a lot happier without him and now I have a clear mind and making a plan for myself and my baby. We're going to be just fine and so will you!

Sometimes I get lonely but I do not regret my decision for one moment. They say when you know it's right, you just know. For me I never knew it was right....but I definitely knew when it was wrong and I needed to get out.

I am just in the process of divorcing and leaving after a rollercoaster of 4 years. I have second thoughts often, mainly because I'm tearing up my family and affecting my daughter's rest of her life. I've thought about leaving before - and my STBXH threatened to leave, feeling "trapped" often. So, I am making the move this time, but it is the hardest thing I've ever done. I just can't live with "What-Ifs"...they are not helpful. This ending is my new beginning. Good luck!

Hellz NO! I am sad that I don't have the family that my daughter deserves, but I know that I would have never had that had DB and I stayed together. Leaving him was the best thing for all of us!

ETA: I had emotionally checked out of my marriage way before I had the nerve to leave. It was much easier living without him than staying with him and living a lie.
