When in a relationship with an exceptional woman, it can be easy to become complacent and take her kindness for granted. This can lead to taking advantage of her and ultimately, leaving her for something perceived as better. However, this decision will likely lead to regret and realizing the mistake of letting her go.

1. She'll give you everything she has

Finding a truly dedicated and invested partner is a rare occurrence and one may not fully appreciate it until they lose them. Future relationships may be casual, but the absence of the small gestures, thoughtful surprises and honesty that were present with the previous partner will be deeply missed. This realization may come when the effort and dedication that the previous partner put in, is not matched by others.

2. Yes, you'll miss being called on your crap

Choosing to remain quiet to maintain harmony may seem easy, but a strong and remarkable woman values direct communication and problem-solving, even if it causes short-term discomfort. She holds herself to high standards and is not afraid to assert herself, which may have at times been challenging while in the relationship. However, it will become more of a concern once the relationship ends, and one's own shortcomings are left unaddressed.

3. You'll also realize how much she let you get away with

You may have viewed her as overly persistent, but in reality, this exceptional woman had a strong sense of judgment on when to address issues. She valued her own happiness, but also cared about yours and was accepting of your imperfections. It will only become apparent once you are in relationships with individuals who try to change you, how much patience and understanding your previous partner had towards your flaws.

4. You'll miss her presence more than you missed casual sex

It's possible that the temptation of being able to pursue other romantic prospects led to letting go of this amazing woman. However, once the initial thrill of reactivating dating profiles fades, one may realize that the temporary pleasure of casual relationships cannot compare to the deep connection and sense of comfort felt with the previous partner. The familiarity and security that was once perceived as dull will now be greatly missed and no amount of new partners can replace the void left by such an exceptional woman.

5. No one will look at you the way she did

Remember the way she would gaze at you with admiration, as if you were a treasured work of art? She believed that you were the greatest thing she had ever seen, her admiration was not only for your physical attributes but for all of you, your good and bad qualities. She recognized your humanity and saw the beauty in it all. You may encounter many people who will look at you, but none of them will ever see and appreciate you the way that this exceptional woman did.

6. The things that annoyed you will be the things you long for

When you first start to feel the absence of her, you may initially think it's a positive thing that you no longer have to put up with certain aspects of her personality that you found annoying, such as her habit of leaving dirty clothes on a chair instead of the hamper or her insistence on doing her eyebrows before leaving the house. However, you will soon realize that you miss those small quirks and habits more than the things that first attracted you to her, despite her being an amazing and incredible woman.

7. You'll realize that she really did try

This woman is exceptional in her determination and resilience in your relationship. She consistently works to find solutions and make things right, even when it's difficult. Her sacrifices and commitment will become even more apparent when compared to other partners you may have in the future.

8. You'll think she was an average girl — then learn you were dead wrong

Her actions towards you were second nature to her and you took them for granted. You became accustomed to her exceptional treatment of you and assumed it was the standard. When you lost her, you likely assumed it would be simple to find someone who would treat you similarly, but you will soon realize that her exceptional care and treatment of you was rare and valuable. Losing her was like discarding a valuable treasure that you had mistaken for something insignificant.

9. You'll bury the parts of yourself that she brought out

An extraordinary woman has the ability to bring out the best in her partner, and this woman was no exception. Being with her inspired you to be your best self and now that she is gone, that part of you is also gone. You will not only miss her, but you will also miss the person you became when you were with her.

10. By the time you realize what you lost, she'll be long gone

Eventually, you will come to realize that your actions were a mistake. You may attempt to regain her affection, but by the time you understand your error, she will have moved on. This exceptional woman will not dwell on your past relationship and whether she is with someone else or thriving independently, she will have come to see your departure as a fortunate event. Conversely, you will be left to live with the regret of letting go of something truly valuable and special.

So You Lost An Incredible Woman — What Now?

It's unfortunate that things ended with her, and though you may regret it, it's unlikely she will return. Instead of dwelling on the past, focus on creating a positive future. To avoid missing out on potential relationships, consider taking these steps moving forward.

1. Get your shit together

If you don't address the underlying issues that led to the loss of this significant relationship, it is likely that similar problems will arise in future relationships. It is crucial to work on personal growth and address any commitment issues, infidelity, dishonesty, or other issues that may have contributed to the relationship's demise. By addressing these issues, you can avoid making the same mistakes in future relationships.

2. Never, ever take her for granted

As time goes on in a relationship, it's easy to become complacent and take the other person for granted. But it is important to remember that being comfortable in a relationship doesn't mean neglecting to show appreciation and gratitude for the little things that your partner does for you. Don't assume that they will always forgive and tolerate poor treatment. An amazing person deserves to be treated with respect and consideration. If you don't treat them accordingly, they may not stay in the relationship.

3. Love her the way she deserves to be loved

If you want to maintain a successful relationship with an amazing woman, you must fully commit to it. Show her that you value and appreciate her positive qualities by giving her affection and attention. Make sure she knows how much she means to you, or someone else may take her away.

4. Treat her the way you would want to be treated

To build a strong and healthy relationship with an amazing woman, avoid any negative or harmful behaviors such as infidelity, dishonesty, neglect, manipulation, and disrespect. Treat her with the respect and consideration she deserves as an equal partner. Remember that all people, regardless of gender, should be treated with dignity and respect.

5. Vow to do better

If you made mistakes and lost the chance to be with an amazing woman, it's important to learn from it and use it as an opportunity for growth. Instead of dwelling on the past, make a commitment to improve yourself and do better in future relationships. Take responsibility for your actions and strive to become a better partner.
