It means for example- there's a women and man is dating. The women is a nice looking and a good women to her man. Here he she's another women who may be easy on the eyes to him. He leaves the first women by choosing the second woman. As time goes on he starts to see the 2nd woman true colors. She's not as nice and don't treat him good as the first women he was with. The 2nd woman is shallow. The man starts to see he had it much better with the first women.
That's the saying it isn't greener on the other side. The man thought he had better with the 2nd woman, when all along he had all that he needed and wanted with the first woman. If you ever watched the first movie of " Why did I Get Married" when they mentioned the 80/20 rule. That's all of the saying in the nut shell.
