Blindsided Breakup Regret Novels & Stories

"The other day, I got fired because you didn't want me snooping around your personal life. And now I just..." Alison felt bad, but now wasn't the time for any pity. She did what was right for her sanity. Why get attached so people can hurt you? She didn't regret her decision. Still...it must had hurt Mira a lot. "Tell me." She said, it was a demand.

But with each passing moment, I realized that the damage I had inflicted upon myself and others was not so easily undone. Regret, like a relentless adversary, continued to shadow my every move. It whispered doubts and insecurities into my ear, reminding me of the pain I had caused and the irreparable damage I had wrought. I berated myself for my foolishness, for my misplaced trust in a person who had only shown me disdain.

Bryce lowered his eyes faintly, his curled eyelashes blocked the deep emotion in his eyes. He stared at my slender neck, and for a moment, he wished he could break my neck. This woman made his life a joke. "I only trust my eyes!" He said firmly. I looked away in embarrassment, as if a big hole had been dug in my heart. If I hadn't gone to the class reunion that day and hadn't drank that glass of wine... I wouldn't have ended up like this. But if it's just if, the thing has already happened, no matter how many times I regret it, it won't help.

I had always thought my marriage was perfect. But during the family gathering on my wedding anniversary, my wife, Jenna Cooper, slammed a stack of papers right in my face. "Calvin Weber, you're bankrupt. You have nothing left to threaten me with." "Have I treated you badly?" I asked. She looked at me coldly. "If it weren't for you, I would've never broken up with Simon. This is what you owe me." Jenna grabbed the hand of the man behind her and intertwined her fingers with his. "It's all over now."

"I was wrong… I know it's too late to say anything now. The company is gone. The money is gone. I have nothing left. I just want to ask you one thing. Did you ever, even for a second, regret leaving me?" I looked at his face full of regret and felt nothing. "Regret?" I asked, then let out a soft laugh. "What I regret most is being blind enough to ever know you. What I regret is not leaving the first time you blamed me over Maeve. Some mistakes can never be undone, Chance. You didn't lose everything. You simply got the ending you deserve," I said. His body shook; it was as if all strength left him. He collapsed onto the ground, and tears ran down his worn face.

I said feeling bitter. I didn’t bother looking at him, he will always see me as a disappointment. I had thought we had passed that stage, I thought he had forgiven me but guess I thought wrong. Father will always think I would return to Henry anytime. “Look Gwen I’m not asking because I care about my reputation or anything. You have been in love once and you got your heart broken, and need I remind you that it wasn’t your heart alone. Your ex took your child from you in tricky ways. All I’m asking is this; are you going to be with Henry again if he one day wakes up from his sleep and decides to make you his again? Are you going to be with him?”

Tori’s voice was barely a whisper. “It was a mistake.” I exhaled heavily. “But you’re unhappy with your marriage.” “I’ve lived with that for the past three years, surely I can do that for a few more.” “Really? You’re going to do this?” “I ask again. How much to make you leave and keep quiet?” “I don’t want your goddamned money. You’re going to regret this.” She picked up her bag and walked out the door, slamming it behind her. I had to hold myself back from screaming my lungs out. Lately, I found myself doing things and regretting them immediately.

“Is it really too late? Divorced… for real?” Each word he forced himself to say felt heavy in his mouth, like something solid and painful that refused to pass easily. The finality of it pressed down on him in a way no business failure or public scandal ever had. This was not a deal he could renegotiate. Not a contract he could restructure. It was personal, irreversible, and entirely his fault. He did not hear the quick footsteps approaching until a small shadow fell across him. “Divorced?” The word was soft, trembling.

I felt my heart clench at his words, my lips quivering as he spoke what I tried so hard to believe was not the truth. But it was. I thought to myself bitterly. Wasn’t it so obviously clear that it was? Look at me.. “Everyday I regret not leaving you there to die.” I stared at him, too weak to fight back the tears brimming in my eyes. “And I feel utterly ashamed that I once fucked you. It makes me sick just thinking about it.” Kevin spat before letting go of my arm. His eyes racked over me like the harshest beam of light on a stage, lips raised in disgust.

" Ten years of love, wasted. So this was who he really thought I was. Around me, the boutique employees whispered and pointed. Their scornful stares felt like a thousand needles stabbing my nearly naked body. I looked at Lex and laughed softly. "Lex, so this is how you see me. There's something I forgot to tell you yesterday, but today's not too late. "Let's break up. Lex, the biggest regret of my life is ever having met you. From now on, your road is yours and mine is mine. The only connection between us is that you're my brother-in-law."
