It depends on who cherished the marriage more...
At times, people don't have any reasons to regret especially when the break up was an opportuinty for them to be free from torment, stress... That is if they leave.
But most times, when there is love in a marriage, a man when he sees an other woman who is more beautiful than his wife, would comment and then go home and make his wife look like that to him. As a man, I would never regret marrying my wife except I never loved her or I was forced into the marraige (which I would never subscribe to). My wife is a beautiful, well mannered, sweet, patient and a good singer...

I'm pretty sure some of them do, especially the ones who stay because they do not believe in divorce or the ones who stay for the children. But not all of them regret staying. I think most men who want to leave, do leave. Some do not have a choice because when the wives get fed up, they kick the men out or ask for divorce themselves. I was teasing with my husband about other women. I asked him would he leave me for another women if he fell in love with her. He said "I'm not leaving my wife". I remember once he told me he can't see himself without me and I said "Well, don't do anything that will cause me to leave". Each person and relationship is different, thus they produce different results.

I think it depends on the circumstances. I am sure some men truly do regret not leaving and others regret leaving (by leaving I mean in general not just for another woman) so it just all depends.

Of course because everything looks greener on the other side and you will always have that memory of what could have been You may have ended up regretting everything you did but it will still seem like the better choice because it is the dream and not the reality

I think a lot of times they definitely regret it, but once you're married with kids, its not just about you anymore. Him leaving would affect his wife and kids, and a lot of men just feel too guilty for doing this.

Yes, even when I had the greatest chance in my life to do it I ended up blowing the opportunity. I could have started all over after my wife cheated on me and offered to leave me everything if I wanted, but I said no and now years later I am regretting it.

Given the scant few men who do leave their wives for the other woman I think not. If in the midst of a heated romance a man does not elect to leave his wife then it's not likely he will regret it. The saying that women cheat up and men cheat down is quite true, so most other women are lesser than the wife. I say that because women who will cheat with a married man are women of desperation, low self esteem, and no character. So, I don't think, in retrospect, the married man would look back and wish he had left his wife for the low ordered other woman.

In any situation, doing what is right does not always mean doing what makes you the happiest.
I'm sure some men do have regrets.
