Jubine>>>Towards the end of the movie, when Hugh's wife asks him to come to bed, he goes to close the windows and for a moment sees Maurice out there, a scene from their past. I always think of this scene as very profound and I think it makes one wonder, if Hugh Grant was thinking if he had made a right decision.

I think this is exactly what he was thinking. Clive didn't realize what he could have had until Maurice chose another...and was gone.
Clive was in love with Maurice, however, he chose position and reputation in society over, whom I believe, the love of his life. He also had a fear of being arrested. We know Clive was number 1 in Maurice's life, but I also believe Maurice was first in Clive's life, even over Clive's wife. She was merely for appearances and to help convince Clive he could change and convince him he was heterosexual.
But subconsciously he felt Maurice would always be there, perhaps marry a woman, but still there for him only. At the window he watched his beloved exit his life...permanently, leaving him behind to live his false and untrue existence without the one who meant the most to him.
Yes, I believe Clive may have been realizing he made the wrong decision.
