The idea of "the one that got away"...how do you feel about this?

[madmisskelly]

Im biased because I don't see any of my exes as "the one that got away." I pretty much never want to see them again and am glad its over.

I tend to see relationships as being interchangeable, and that life goes on when one is over, and that you meet many special people throughout your life. There are many people you are going to have a great connection with, so one ending isn't a huge deal. It sucks, but life goes on, and more men come into your life.

Yes I've felt that but I've always realized as time went on that I was missing the fantasy version of him I built in my head instead of the real him

Yes and I still think about him on and off. I wish there were an option to shut off your brain whenever you want to.

I was really hurt by Christine, the one that got away. When I met womebody else and married her then I got over Christine. She called last year saying the guy she left me for was abusive.

Oh well. She had her chance with me and I was all for it. She threw me away. Now... too late.

The one I found is better.

I`ve had that happen before. Met a girl whom I felt very attracted to. Everything about her was perfect, we talked and had lots of fun together. That was... Until I found out she was taken... I try not to think about her. But hey, if she can be happy forever, I`m willing to be slowly forgotten.
