“I regret sticking with my girlfriend all through highschool. My life didn’t begin to get good until she was gone.”

Yea, and I bet like me you thought life could not get any lower when the break-up came. With time though came wisdom.

Garth Brooks knew when he wrote these words to Unanswered Prayers

“Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers”

And in the song “The Dance”

The Dance:
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared ‘neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye

And now I’m glad I didn’t know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I’d have had to miss the dance

Holding you, I held everything
For a moment wasn’t I a king
But if I’d only known how the king would fall
Hey who’s to say? you know I might have changed it all

And now I’m glad I didn’t know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I’d have had to miss the dance

Yes my life, it’s better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I’d have had to miss the dance

Although I do know what you mean, that's really not how it went. She kinda latched onto me and threatened any other girl that came near me. I liked her OK as a friend at first, but was uncomfortable with her persistance that we be "exclusive". However, she told me that she would kill herself if I ever broke up with her. I didn't have the strength or the nerve to tell her how I really felt. I wound up getting her pregnant my senior year and then we had another baby a couple years later. Finally, she decided she wanted someone else and I couldn't have been happier for myself, but heartbroken for my kids.

I did later meet someone who broke my heart when we split, but we both came to realize that we were meant to be together. Now I've been happily married to her for nearly 20 years and my life couldn't be better.
