But sometimes, we don&#8217;t even realize just how painful they are until after they&#8217;ve happened, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitedaily.com\/dating\/you-dont-know-what-you-have-until-its-gone\">the person you love is long gone<\/a>. It&#8217;s that feeling of deep regret that you made a mistake and lost the person you love, and it&#8217;s totally your fault. And if you&#8217;re not the one with regret, then I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re the one hoping your ex is living with the regret of losing you. So&#8230; what makes a guy regret losing you exactly? And how long does it take a man to realize what he lost once you\u2019re gone? For insight, I turned to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskMen\/comments\/7a2m6l\/men_whove_realised_theyve_let_a_good_woman_go_and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reddit thread<\/a>\u00a0asking men to explain the kind of girl guys regret losing, and why they regret losing the women they loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, before we get into this, consider yourselves warned: This is going to be a real heartbreaker. These dudes get super real about how they let the women they truly loved go, and when they realized what a colossal mistake they made. So if you&#8217;re sitting around&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitedaily.com\/dating\/why-do-i-still-miss-my-ex\">thinking about that one ex<\/a>&nbsp;who dumped you for no reason and wondering, \u201cWill he regret losing me?,\u201d then take it from these guys: The answer is almost definitely yes. Your ex might not be one of these Reddit users, but they could be feeling the exact same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Becoming More Mature Can Make Someone Feel Regret After A Breakup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2021\/7\/15\/675f03f2-f3e8-4c02-bc45-5b128ea9fe0a-getty-1199647490.jpg?w=374&amp;h=249&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;q=50&amp;dpr=2\" alt=\"If you're wondering whether he will regret losing you, the answer may be yes. \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Westend61\/Westend61\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I was a little sh*t who thought I was too good for her and left.

One time I realized it most was when I surfing off the coast of Ireland looking at the shore and just sitting on my surfboard thinking about her, almost cried right there.

I have tried going out and dating other women, but I can&#8217;t stop comparing them to her. And even now I don&#8217;t want sex unless it&#8217;s with her. What made me let her go was that we lived in different countries, and after doing long distance for 8 months, I got too paranoid that there was stuff I was missing out on, and I broke up with her, tried to talk to her about how I regretted it, she ended up saying we couldn&#8217;t get back together. Which led to her eventually blocking me on all forms of contact. I wish I could win her back. She&#8217;s moving back to my city next summer, which doesn&#8217;t seem so far from now.
