If you do not mind, can you tell me of a time when you switched sides because you thought the grass would be more green, then tell me if it was or was not?

Asked by Blackberry (34157points) September 13th, 2010

Relationships, jobs, career, even product brands etc. When you switched, was it better or worse?

A relationship, once. It was a HUGE mistake.

Giving up retail sales for a big law firm six-figure salary. The grass was NOT greener, no matter how many figures…

Great Caesar’s Ghost, it was a while ago and I don’t know when but I started to see things from the side of capitalist instead of consumers and the jury is still out, but it looks like the capitalist side will be much, much greener.

I once left a longterm relationship after a lot of bitching about my job’s hours and our lack of time together along with the fact I wasn’t a vegetarian like he was and I drank alcohol which he did not. The grass seemed greener at first, of course. The new man complimented and courted me, he was smart, able, responsible and generous. Unfortunately he was also an alcoholic and drug addict so when he was up then he was way up and when he was down then he was way down and after several years, love aside, I left him when I started to become depressed too.

Switched over to join a group of “cool dudes” once. Didn’t work at all. Made me become someone I was not.

I left my husband and married Alex – the grass was not only greener, but softer and smarter and better in bed.
