Not sure that they do, until the fog lifts and they realize that the new and fun have turned into the everyday or it is more critical like the OP becomes abusive or controlling, then the past relationship looks great and the regret set in. As long as things are good over the fence, no regret. Things not so good, regret.
The problem is, even though they regret, do they really want you back or are they retreating to familiar ground for safety and will venture back out once the feeling strikes them.
