if you had a chance to be with that lost love, the one that you just know in your heart got away would you? even if you were in a relationship with someone you love? would you just throw it all away for a second change?

personally i wouldnt do it! Its not worth it! Why go on something in the past! It didnt work for a reason and why would it work now? thats my belief. I wouldnt want to risk what i have now for something that might not even work out if i had the second chance.

good for you. the past is the past. and it is a good thing because you get to move on and make better choices, and live a better life. if that person was meant to be then they would be

Nope i wouldn't. If I was in a relationship with someone I love and got the chance to be with a lost love, then I would consider it lost for good. The mere fact that I chose to have a relationship with someone new after a lost love means I had given up on the lost love. Falling in love again after a heartache is a difficult thing to do. And once it happens, it has to be with someone who has turned the world around for me. Therefore, he deserves my love and fidelity to him. The lost love? well, he lost his chance.

that is just how i feel. let the lost ones be lost because they are lost for a reason.

I am in that situation now and I really dont think I can just leave the guy i am with now because of some personal issues which i know probably could be solved but...its kinda hard to be with somebody that has no job,wont work and i have 3 kids....so i have to remain with my bf...

i think selfpreservation would kick in and i would be wary about leaving a relationship i know and am comfortable with . the grass is not always greener on the other side and it could be the worst mistake could ever make.

I couldn't just up and leave my husband if my lost love came back, and I wouldnt want him to do that to me. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and I'm with who I'm supposed to be with. I would think that things didn't work out with that person for a reason. Not to say that my heart wouldnt ache for him but I would have to admire him from afar. I have to much history, time and love put into my marriage to give it all up for a second chance with someone, and then have it not work out with them.

Ideally I will look for that someone that took my heart. But in real-life it just sometimes don't happen. There are already lots of girls that I let slip from my fingers. I know deep inside if I could just have them but I have to let go. Sometimes we need to learn life the hard way but It's that hard way that we had fun and laughter and we learned a lesson. ;) Thank for your post. It made me think the life I had before. I hope you'll have time to read my other posts as well. THanks a lot! ??

I think if they got away or if you let them go then they were not the one for you. people come into our lifes for a reason. and some are not meant to stay long term. you learned what you can from that relationship and apply all the good to the next. the one that is meant to be, will never get away!
