She was rejected by him, and he regrets not seeing what he had and not being able to accept her. He sees how it’s only added to her not seeing any value in herself. Maybe he put her on a pedestal and thought love had to be this pure, unadulterated thing, but he realizes that what makes someone beautiful is how all the ugly parts have shaped them. It makes a person more willing to accept others faults and to offer compassion to others.He realizes that the fantasy doesn’t exist, and it would be boring anyways. How could someone who really was perfect accept him? He was fooling himself to think he was any better and what is better? He thought he’d won by moving on, and he tried to convince everyone around him that he’s better off, but he’s not. He regrets losing her, and it hurts him more because he’s the one that did it. His loss is worse because he thinks about what could’ve been while she can more easily move on because he didn’t want her. Maybe he sees that it cost him before because she can find someone less complicated and find happiness elsewhere more easily than he can. He’s not nearly as happy as he wants to appear, and he may never be able to undo what he did. He thinks he’s figured out how to change the situation, but there’s no way to know if he can fix it. It may also be hard to explain to the people around him if he made a bunch of disparaging comments about her.
