The two-boyfriend problem

I miss the one I left, but I don't want the one I left him for!

    Why did this happen? You really want to know?

    Because sometimes when you date someone it doesn't work out. This is not a drama. This is not profound. This is not a giant moral dilemma. You dated a guy who you thought was right for you, but upon getting to know him better you realized he wasn't right for you after all. So the two of you broke up and now you are looking again. I'm sorry for your loss and totally confident that within a year you'll be dating someone else. But seriously, get over yourself.
