I've been with my wife for over 16 years now so it's been so long since I've dated anyone at this point.

That's just not true.
If you're happily married then you shouldn't be thinking about regret you have about not marrying someone else.
You should never feel like you settled for your current spouse, but oh man just imagine what life would've been like with someone else.

Could there be a more appropriate song for a thread that It’s Just a Matter if Time courtesy of ole Randy Travis and Brook Benton:
“Someday, someway you'll realize that you've been blind
Yes darling, you're going to need me again
Its just a matter of time
Go on, go on til you reach the end of the line
Cause I know you'll pass my way again
Its just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had
You laughed and you called me a clown
Remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up must come down
I know, I know that one day you'll wake up and find
That my love is a true love
Its just a matter of time“

Man, I did Christmas at my brother and his wife's house this past year. This was maybe a month after the girlfriend of a little over a year and a half broke up with me. When I saw them exchanging presents and being all happy, I had to go outside, cry a little bit, and slug some bourbon. I'm a pussy, I know. That shite hurt.
For me, my ex-wife’s house, the one we had lived in together while we were married, was still on my commute to work for several months after the divorce. I remember one day seeing all the adorable Halloween decorations in the yard. We used to do those together, get really into it and elaborate, and it really hurt bad to see it all done up without me. Thankfully, her and her new husband have a house elsewhere now, so I don’t have to see those daily reminders every morning anymore.

Only time I think of my ex is when she somehow manages to get around my blocks and fires a random drunken gibberish message at me.
It let's me know she hasn't OD'd yet.

Yeah, I don't have any regrets. My previous 2 lengthy relationships wouldn't have worked out long term anyway. I'm just old enough to recognize that now.

Nothing like those Walker County girls, brother.

Yeah, I definitely do not have "one that got away." I had one until I met my wife.

My wife definitely lived in Walker County some growing up and all around Birmingham. She lived with her grandparents for years in Parrish.

Why did you split up

My girlfriend and I broke up last fall and still find myself wondering what she’s doing or who she is with. I have seen other girls since (mostly just for a few weeks at a time) but I am interested to know when this feeing will finally go away. I still go back to social media of college exes to see what they are doing. Is this something that never really goes away?
First of all, you didn't break up, she dumped you. She was over you before she left.
And you don't have enough going on in your life, that's the problem.
Spoiler alert, your ex is getting nailed by at least 2-3 guys. Digest that, get yourself a good cry out of it, and then start focusing on improving yourself.
Get in the gym, crush it academically. If you're out of college, crush it at work, work on being promoted, and be a man that can attract much better women than you've been with in the past. There's no other way to go about it.

Once you accept that she no longer wants to be with you, move on. All about acceptance of the situation.

Not that I miss her, but to think how we used to frick every day and I didn’t even pull out except occasionally to cream her face. I PIIHB, and she swallowed every time. Road head, sex in tiger stadium, it was fun. Someone I jizzed into hundreds of times is out of my life forever.
Just weird.
Very well said.

If you truly love someone you can never 100% get over them.

My high school girlfriend dumped me within 6 weeks of our enrolling at LSU. 30 years later I don't miss her so much as I miss what our care-free lives were like in high school and assumed would continue to be in college and how abruptly it changed. Her mom was like a 2nd mom to me and she did some work to get us back together and I was too hurt- her daughter dumped me and I was too proud and too hurt to consider it. Then when I found out my ex was getting married right out of college I was thrown for a real loop and realized how she had moved on and I hadn't.
The worst part was this sweet lady who loved me like a son wound up dying of breast cancer within 10 years of my graduating and moving out-of-state for grad school and one of my biggest regrets was being too proud to stay in touch. I would have loved to have seen her one more time. Rest in peace Mrs. M.
Maybe all of that to say it there's more to it than getting over just the Ex...

It's harder in your 20's, especially in your late twenties when all of your friends are getting married. Once you get into your thirties and find another woman that's better suited for you, it becomes an afterthought. My ex actually lives not far from me and her kids go to the same elementary school as mine and sometimes I forget we even dated for 4 years.
