Did you ever have someone who you truly loved and wanted to invest their time to you but somewhere along the way you let them go and regretted it because you realized how lucky you truly were?

No. I have missed exes, but at the same time, I realized we broke up for a reason.

Nope. Rarely did I dump, and when I did, it was for good reasons.

When I was the dumpee, rarely was it done in such a manner that I'd be much interested in talking to them again, let alone pining for them.

Ive missed all my ex's at one point (except for one) and kept only the fond memories.

No regrets.

No, never. I have never let anyone who truly loved me go and never will.

I have experienced the opposite though....someone whom I truly loved let me go and then they regretted it later.

My ex and I are still friends. She really was the only one who truly gave a and loved me. But it wasn’t the right time and I felt she deserved better than I could give at that time so I dumped her. I miss someone actually caring but I think I did the right thing for both of us.

maybe romanticize when I'm in a crappy mood and then I realize what's happening and take action to fix what is crappy in my own relationship.

When I was in high school, I liked someone, and when I realized they liked me more than just friends, I pushed them away hard. Im not sorry I did that, because I may not have gone on to meet my true love for this life, but I sometimes wonder how things have gone for him.

Its not regret, but if I had that chance to apologize for my immaturity, I would. I could have handled it much better than I did.

yes.

Neither of us have regrets but I think "what if... " at times (although i wouldn't tell her that)

We are still close even today...

Thinking back, yes. Only one and she was a long time ago. I dumped her but we remained friends - well actually, we remained lovers until we got involved with someone else, even then we remained friends for quite some time until all contact was lost.

I won't say I regretted leaving her but I do realize what a great lover she was and how well we actually suited each other.
