Why would an ex boyfriend referred to me as the one that got away?

[Alwayreckles93]

Why did my ex boyfriend realized now that it's been past 11 years ago? He ask me hey M****** where do you think we would be at if we were still dating till this day? I told him straight out that I no longer have feelings for him it been all gone long time ago. Then my ex boyfriend tells me , Oh I've realized in the pandemic that you are the one that got away. We only dated 2011-2012 time frame. The reason that he broken up with me was because of his mom hated me and long story short this guy is still a momma's boy. Why would an ex say that oh I realized you are the one that got away?

Sounds like he regrets letting you go. Oh well, it sounds like it was a good thing if he lets his mommy pick his girlfriends. She sounds controlling.

[Alwayreckles93]

Oh yeah she was very controlling of him. I was an only child for about 13 years of his life until his little brother was born. We would make plans for dates to go out frozen yogurt, Go bowling 🎳 and he would cancel plans because I had to do stuff for his mom particularly on the days he scheduled our dates. Yeah and a week after prom he broke it off with me.

It was years ago crazy how times goes. Lo. L

[TrueConfection]

Except he's still living with her?

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes , He is 28 years old.

[TrueConfection]

Ugh! Maybe he thinks you can rescue him and be his new mommy. 😂

[Alwayreckles93]

Oh my Lord 😂 I did felt like a mom when I dated him. Now that you mentioned it lol.

He wants another chance, but it would probably end up like the wife and mother-in-law relationship in everybody loves raymond. Always judgy and nitpicky, but always around and super involved

[OlderAndWiser]

He probably said it because he was hoping you might give him another chance.

[RealMarek]

He wishes he had kept dating you. He thinks you’re wonderful.

[Staximus]

Because he realized he fucked up and that you are a keeper? Why did his mom hate you?

[Alwayreckles93]

She insisted he dated this girl name Brenda.
