Dunno man, I'm single so... But i guess my answer would be no. Being the one that ended past relations, I guess I had reasons.

I may be single, but hell yeah I would.

And for you "it's in the past for a reason" types, don't act all blameless...we all **** up

At the same time, it's a pretty slippery slope to go down.

The grass always being greener and whatnot.

I'd reckon people that place themselves in that camp are rationally not allowing themselves to entertain such ideas for a good reason.

I guess that makes sense

I am painfully aware that the one thing all my dysfunctional relationships had in common was me.

But lessons learned. The woman I'm with now loves me like crazy and I wouldn't give her up for anyone from the past

Because you are blameless and perfect

If I were you, I wouldn't resort to personal attacks until I knew the other person very well personally.

And yes, FWIW, I KNOW that I was not the reason for any of my breakups. Either it was the girls, or uncontrollable situations: 'there's a reason' does not imply that the blame lies squarely with them. sometimes there are situations you just can't control.

Many others before me have posted the same thing as well, so I guess I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Champ speaks the truth. I accept all the times I was to blame, but sometimes stuff is beyond our control because, as it were, some peeps be crazy as poo. And even past that, sometimes we find out that another person simply isn't someone we want to have as a permanent fixture in our lives. There is nothing wrong with that, and there is no one to blame for that, either.

And when I go, I always leave at least a small part of myself behind. That's just the way it is with me...

I feel for ya on that one man, I'm the same way...

I actually deleted my original post which Pills Are Yummy quoted because your post said the same thing as mine, and was the 1st one in the thread (and I missed it somehow)

Also, I'd exemplify the 'situations' in another possible way, without going too much into background details, by saying this: imagine a relationship which was a stupid thing to start off with (both you and the girl involved with mutual consent), was fun while it lasted but was totally unsustainable in the long run for some reason.

Now I'd not want her back because the relationship could never come to anything. And I definitely do not waste time ruefully retrospecting or wanting her back.

That's my situation. I don't 'blame' myself for having an impractical relationship, because I never regret it.

I've been single and alone for a very long time. But twelve years ago (that long ago??) an old girlfriend from the past called me up out of the clear blue. Get together? We're both divorced so why not?

Bad move. Too much had changed thru the years on both our parts. We tried to have a go at things but for a variety of reasons it just didn't work out.

I'll never do that again. Besides, I don't mind being alone because I'm not lonely.

hrodbert696 · #33 12-30-2012, 06:39 AM

In terms of sheer looks - yes. There was one extraordinary blond bombshell I dated for all of two weeks (still have no idea why she agreed to date me), and a couple of others that come to mind from time to time.

But my wife is still, imo, no slacker in the looks department, and in terms of compatibility to build a life together - no way. Not trading her in for anything.

Jhengsman · #34 12-30-2012, 06:50 AM

There are only the girls in my past who I wanted in the past but nothing ever happened and at times I wonder, what if.

Jim Nazium · #35 12-30-2012, 07:07 AM

I'm currently single and not dating anyone, and I don't think anyone would ever "steal me away" from a relationship. So my literal answer the OPs question is no.

However, there was a girl I knew in college who I hope to meet again in a future life. We were friends with benefits for a while, never really BF & GF. I wish I had tried harder and been nicer to her ... on the other hand, I was so messed up at that age that I couldn't have been a good relationship partner for anyone, so maybe it's just as well ... but I still think of her as the closest to a "soul mate" that I've ever met.

Katrina, wherever you are, I wish you well.

Nope, but being single I wouldn't mind spending time with one or two for some quick fun. But nothing emotional there

StrangerDanger · #38 12-30-2012, 09:42 AM

Nope.

bolophonic · #39 12-30-2012, 09:46 AM

Not a chance.

Musiclogic · #40 12-30-2012, 10:00 AM

Not a chance. Many great women and relationships in the past, but the infatuations of immaturity, and the memory of why they never came to any fruition are always a reminder of why I am where I am now, and the many wonderful years my wife and I have shared.
