Sometimes I catch myself wondering if my ex ever regrets losing me.
Not in a toxic, “I hope they’re miserable” kind of way, but more like, do they realize what they had?
It’s that weird curiosity that sneaks in at night, when you’re scrolling through old photos or you hear “your song” by accident.
You’ve moved on (mostly), but still, a tiny part of you wonders.
The Things They Probably Miss
Let’s be honest—most exes do regret something.
Maybe it’s not the relationship as a whole, but little things.
The way you remembered their coffee order without asking.
How you hyped them up before job interviews.
Or just the fact that you actually listened when they were stressed.
Those are the kinds of things people can’t just replace.
But here’s the trap—sometimes we romanticize it, thinking, “They must miss me every day.” Truth?
They probably do, but that doesn’t mean they’re about to text you an apology essay.
And even if they did, it doesn’t mean they’ve actually changed.
Missing someone and being able to love them right are two very different things.
The Glow-Up Effect
There’s also that part where your ex might regret it only after seeing you thrive without them.
Like suddenly you’re out with friends, looking better than ever, doing things you never did when you were together.
That glow-up hits hard. And honestly, it’s satisfying, right?
But here’s the tricky part—it’s easy to get stuck in “I’ll show them” energy, when really, the glow-up should be about you, not them.
If the best revenge is living well, then you’re already winning.
Still, it’s kinda fun to imagine them stalking your stories and realizing they messed up.
We all secretly enjoy that thought, even if we’d never admit it out loud.
So, do they regret losing you—or are you just too busy thriving to care anymore?
