Do you wander if your ex will regret losing you after breaking up with you? Sometimes we make a vow to ourselves that we are going to be someone that he will miss. Sometimes this is because we want to be vindictive or sometimes it is because we want to be better.
When your heart is broken after a breakup, you will feel things like pain and regret, and you wonder how your ex is living their best life. This can be hard especially if your ex was your best friend, and you feel alone.
It is like one minute you are best friends and then the next he is your enemy. The truth is, he will regret losing you.
When Will He Regret Losing You?
Most men don’t realize right away that they have missed something by breaking up with you. They don’t feel that they are missing you or anything. But, if a man does have feelings for you, after a few months, he will regret leaving you.
If you were dating a narcissist though, he will never miss you, honestly. Guys do regret losing good women because they realize that the woman was so good to them. It takes them a while to realize that they took for granted who you were.
If a guy didn’t have value in you, he might not regret it soon because he might not realize he has lost someone valuable in his life. He has to learn to appreciate you in order to realize he has lost you.
What Makes Him Regret Losing You?
One thing that makes a man regret that he has lost you is that he will have a hard time finding someone else like you. He will make unrealistic expectations that will never be met.
He will always compare you to other women and this will happen even if he didn’t realize it. Even when he isn’t sure about it, he will realize that he has messed up. He will start to feel bad for his actions.
This won’t happen soon, but it will happen in time. Here are some other reasons he will regret losing you:
Lonesome
If he is lonely, he will miss you and regret losing you. He will never find anyone like you, and he will try to reach out to you.
Seeing Someone Else
If he is seeing someone else, it’s because he thought something else could be better. Men love to be with someone, and they are very competitive. If you start seeing someone else, he will become jealous because it hurts his ego.
Thinking of You
Your ex will likely not be able to get you out of his mind. He will still have feelings for you, and he will have a hard time forgetting things like your smile or your body. He will regret losing you.
Best Friend
Another thing that he will miss is the companionship you had. You were his best friend, and he might not even realize that he lost this with the breakup.
Finalizing It
When things become final in the breakup, this is when he will think the most about you. If he starts to communicate with you then he is probably wondering if he made a mistake.
How Do You Know if He Misses You?
Here are some ways you can tell if he is missing you:
Mutual Friends
If he is talking about you to his friends, chances are that he is missing you and he is trying to find out more about what is going on in his life. Here are some other signs:

He Will Regret Losing You
He will regret losing you if you make the decision to live your best life. And even if you don’t get back together, you can find your own happiness by moving on and doing great things.
If he is happy that you and he broke up, he wasn’t worth fighting over anyways. Fall in love with who you are first and then love will find you.
What I appreciate here is the reminder that you need to love yourself first before seeking validation from others. However, I do think the idea of ‘making’ someone regret losing you feels manipulative.
The article seems to lean heavily into the assumption that a man’s regret is inevitable. While it might comfort some, not every situation plays out this way. Human emotions are complex, and people heal and move on in different ways.
“Go to the gym.” Classic advice! Because clearly, all your ex will miss is your new six-pack… How about working on your emotional health instead?
*Insert eye roll* The entire premise of this article seems like an attempt to validate unhealthy obsessions with an ex. Let’s face it: if he was worth it, he wouldn’t have left in the first place.
I found this article quite empowering! It’s a reminder that we should focus on ourselves and our own growth rather than dwelling on someone else’s feelings about us. Love the advice about improving good energy.
“He’ll regret losing you” – oh really? Sounds like wishful thinking wrapped in cliché advice. Not every man sits around reflecting on past relationships like some kind of rom-com protagonist.
If my ex regrets losing me after watching me live my best life – cool. If not – also cool! But let’s not pretend this is some formula where they’ll inevitably come crawling back when we glow up!
Isn’t it a bit toxic to encourage people to try and make their ex regret losing them? Shouldn’t we be focused on self-improvement for our own sake instead of using it as a tool for revenge?
@LostInTranslation I totally agree with you! Focusing on yourself is great, but doing it just to get back at someone else doesn’t seem healthy.
@LostInTranslation I see your point, but sometimes the pain from a breakup can be motivational. It’s not about revenge; it’s about showing yourself what you’re capable of!
