Women more likely than men to have a ‘love’ regret: NU study

Chicago Tribune:

If asked to name something we regret in our lives, most of us would mention a “love” regret, especially the women among us, a recent study out of Northwestern University shows.

When asked, about 44 percent of women and 19 percent of men said they regretted something related to romance, according to the study by the Kellogg School of Management in Evanston.

Neal Roese is one of the study’s authors and a professor of marketing at the school. He said regrets women mentioned in the survey of 370 adults ages 19 to 103 included “the one that got away” regrets, as well as regrets that they had never entered into a particular relationship. Another– perhaps surprising—regret: That they had not broken off a romantic relationship sooner.
