The Cliche`: "It's His Loss"...


Why is it that when wonderful women lose the object of their affection, it is some kind of consolation that friends and significant others come to the rescue and utter the words: "It's His Loss, Not Yours", specially if that person chose to leave the relationship in favor of someone "lesser" than the qualities of the former sweetie? I happen to hear those words again from a couple of friends...And what I think about it is if I want to be fair and square, for a moment, "A love lost is a temporal loss for anyone involved, regardless of who is the better of the two (or more)." But, if my intention is just to feel good about knowing indeed, I am the better one, then, by all means...I'LL TAKE THE CLICHE`

Well, think about it this way. It's not his loss, because he went after someone far more sexier, beautiful, etc. You might be the most wonderful person in this planet, but he didn't appreciate it. So, the bottom line is love yourself. And vision a person more wonderful to come your way.

i hope to find a more apt phrase, not just "its his loss"...

what i say to myself if ever that happens, is that, its really a loss on both sides because i know that i am very sincere in my love and i know what my intentions are - to love and care for the person i choose to be with and hopefully be with him for the rest of our lives..sincerely saying that, i also know its my loss because of the love,time and emotion i have invested in that relationship.

I heard it somewhere here - " THE HEART GRIEVES FOR WHAT IT HAS LOST, BUT THE SOUL REJOICES FOR WHAT HAS REMAINED....THE MEMORIES.."

Clap!clap! clap!...Bravo, Marie!..Well said...Yeah, memories..lots of them my dear...It's just a matter of choice...Either we chose to be bitter about the loss, or be happy and content with the good memories...After all, Happiness is a serious problem...and it's a matter of choosing to be happy...I know, I choose to be one...

Yes, this is so true. Life is so complicating enough and why bother worrying. About what didn't happen or not.

Thanks for posting Jack..You see, when one is so "into someone", the words "I don't wanna lose you" are often spoken and heard. But once the flame of love flies out of the window, more than likely, the one who leaves the relationship would not consider any loss of the other specially if s/he found someone new to begin the same cycle again...I'm not pointing fingers here, but this is the reality in life...We either take it, or leave it...or live with it...

Yeah, Jack...It's true. Some people appear sincere from the beginning, but the mask they wear usually dies in a short period of time and the true character is revealed...But still, they say: "It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.." It's just a matter of believing and then, disbelieve later on...

Laters,
