“you’ll find someone better” to me implies better than what you thought you had and at the level you feel deserving of.
Well I think the magical word here is "thought" you had.

Because I think when the newness of it all is over people are people. I am on my 4th exclusive relationship since my D. All 4 were great girls in there own way and my exw was a great girl at one point. When it is all said and done they all have good points and flaws. The key point and probably what I should have said is "treated better". This is why I think so many people who left, years down the road think "I wish I would have tried harder". Since no one is perfect it is best to be with the mother/father of your children.

We see this a lot on the board where this gets forgotten real quickly. Doug54 comes to mind.
