No, My first husband was physically abusive so that was a positive that ended...
And my second... it was the for better or worse till death did us part...
And while I had a sexual relationship with the same person that was on and off for 3 years, it wasn't love or anyone I could of loved, only reason agreed to that because I knew couldn't catch feelings for someone like that, but it stopped being enough because at heart I'm not a casual sex kind of person... But got to the point I'd rather go without then settle for just one aspect...
I haven't had a real relationship or anyone I've loved since my hubby died
In my case, I have been the one who was 'the one that got away' to other people. And that's not my ego talking. I know this because they ended up coming back to me, by either reaching out to me online or by literally showing up to my doorstep. Mostly friends doing this. To those who didn't reach out, I made it absolutely clear that I want nothing to do with them and they should never contact me again.
To answer your question itself, I honestly don't have someone who I consider 'the one that got away'. I've met tons of shit people in my life literally trying to get at others, simply because they aren't happy with themselves. Or people who I do have fond memories with, but ultimately let me and our friendship/relationship down. I made a habit to cut people out of my life with no remorse and make way for better people to step in.
@VIVANT What you say does not apply to my situation. I make it clear to people whenever I cut them out. The ones that came back so with excuses and apologies. You know what they say: You never know the value of something or someone until it's gone.
A little bit yea... Back in highschool there was this girl who was super troubled but I was madly in love with her, she talked to me day and night and I was at her neck and call. She ended up having used me to get with a friend of mine who was basicly my little brother. I still loved her even though she used me and I supported my friend and hers relationship because I wanted her to be happy. I still think about her sometimes and can still rember her smile ten years later. Now she's with some guy who looks a good ten years older than her. I still think about her sometimes even though she broke my heart.
No. To be honest, I'm glad both of my exes and I broke up. It's nothing personal, it's just that we were not compatible and would've never been happy remaining a couple.
I also don't consider anyone I could've potentially dated the one who got away, either. For awhile, I thought so about one, but quickly learned I dodged a bullet with him when we briefly reconnected and he showed me who he truly was.
I’ve wanted to date somebody from work ever since I got hired but I don’t know anybody who is willing to share his contact information and I haven’t seen him in months because he was afraid of catching CoVid
I’m the one who got away. I've been told that so many times. 🤷🏻♀️
No, cause all my exs and guys that I've never had an opportunity to date (with whom I've wondered if there could have been more than a spark - it didn't last/happen for a reason. There is always a reason as to why a relationship ended, and as hard as it was/is (I'm currently recovering from a recent heart break), one must listen to that reason and know when to walk away.
I have come to learn that with dating, comes risks. One will let someone in and they will inevitably hurt you. You will hurt others. This is all a part of life and love.
It sucks. It will always suck to lose a love or know your love was unmatched... etc. But the losses will never outweigh the gains. The love you've discoverd, the truths you've learned about yourself and another person, the memories and lessons that each relationship gave and taught—those are unmatched.
Yeah
My first ex moved to Poland... honestly if it happened now I'd have moved as well but that was an unfortunate timing
I also have a couple of crushes back from my low confidence days... one I went to school with who I was giving notes to on business studies and she was cute, same age as me (she moved to Australia)
the other was a girl in college, who seemed to have a spark with me but was a few years older than me, she even invited me out clubbing which would have been okay if I wasn't 16 and dispised clubs
Not being cocky or anything but my ex should see me as the one who got away. He treated me terribly, and I loved him no matter what.
Until one day it came to an end, prior to that he would say he couldnt replace me etc.
It's only been a month and I have met some amazing and supportive individuals who have helped me come to terms with my choice and showing me how it was for the best.
This actually proves that break ups have heavier tolls on men than women. Women get societal leeway to cry it out and broadcast their emotions after a break up. Guys often feel the exact same emotions but are taught not to show them. But that doesn’t make them magically go away. We have more hang ups.
We dated for a year and a half then she broke up with me. We still see each other regularly and essentially are dating but without the status. I was going through a divorce when we started dating. Now I'm single and we engage in this dance of pursuit and retreat (on both sides). I occasionally decide I'm fed up with the status of the relationship and withdraw a bit and she pursues me. I even had another relationship going but when we started seeing each other again I lost interest in that girl. I've met another girl I like a lot and have started dating. She might give the "Got Away" girl some serious competition. I hope she does-I'm frustrated by the current state of things.
Yes, there is a girl I dated when I was 25. She was a co-worker. We started dating about 3-4 months before I moved away. She was sane, logical, calm, not a drunk or drug abused, employed, attractive, and fun. I lost contact with her but should have been far more diligent in pursuing her.
I've had a lot of ex's say I was the one that got away.
I was easy to talk to, kept my attention on them, had them laughing when they needed it, and grounded when they needed that too.
But they would lie, or cheat, or ignore, or hurt me back then. I would forgive most things once but never twice.
I was decent looking with a thin build, blonde hair and blue eyes, and a mild wild streak. A true Scorpio and a deep thinker. I'd drink a little only to be social so not really a partier. I was shy and used humor to break the ice.
Once you hurt me twice I'd walk away.
So, yes, there are those that got away, but realize most times we were abused and forced away.
P. S. Now happily married (19 years) to someone who's been hurt and understands what it was like. She's my whole world now, she didn't get away. ;)
Yeah. My crush. Even tho she was more than just a crush, I loved her for more than 5 years. We had ups and downs. Sometimes we were so close I thought she was really flirting and trying to get me, which was strange because she has a boyfriend. And sometimes, like it was in the end, she barely answered me.
She was the most beautiful, adorable, funny and interesting girl I've ever met. Honestly, for me she was the closest I could imagine to my dream girl.
I still miss her today, more than 2 years after she stopped talking to me. I still don't know why. Maybe I wasn't interesting enough for her. I really, deeply miss her.
Not really. If I didn’t date a guy it’s because I wasn’t into him and didn’t want to waste his time. I do have one from high school though that I know I’ve hurt, and I do feel bad about hurting him. Doesn’t mean I want another chance to date him (I don’t).
Yes, definitely. For me, this applies to a guy I was talking to and a best friend. Both are my biggest regrets and lessons.
Despite what people say, it is too late for me to try and make amends because sometimes too much damage has been done and I guess people and situations belong in the past and are meant to be a memory only :)
Yeah a beautiful woman named Staci. I was inexperienced in relationships so I listened to My idiot friends. I played a lot of games which really confused Her and gave Her mixed signals when I should have just acted on My natural instincts. I swear men sometimes say the stupidest shit when it comes to women when following Your instincts is the clear road to take.
i should say i scared him away pushed him away have you ever fallen so bad for a guy you did the opposite of what you wanted to do i have im 54 he's 66 and i fell in love with him he's not interested in me and im not he's type but he has no problem looking at me i fel;l in love with him i have never felt this way before in my life and he doesn't talk to me just looks not every time i see him but he does it enough
I have 2. One was this girl in high school who I never stood a chance with, and the second was a girl I knew in college who I ended up having a great first date with. For whatever reason, things got WEIRD like 2-3 weeks after the date; and she basically ghosted me without any kind of explanation, apologizing for wasting my time. She went nuclear and blocked me on all social media. Ended a 3-4 year friendship.
There is one that feels that way.
But how she treated me a few weeks after (regarding a specific incident) we split shows something very deep and insidiously wrong with herself. I definitely did wrong but she did much worse. But it’s been very difficult to get her out of my mind. It’s been 6 years now and I still think about her way more than I should. She was the only woman I ever considered getting serious with.
nope not really. There has always been good reasons to break up. And i've made a couple mistakes for sure. But when i look back on it don't really matter i've reflected and see there were many flaws and won't of lasted anyway.
I considered it. But nuhz, I’m usually “the one that got away” 😜😂💁🏼♀️ I kept being good to the wrong ones, and so I’m glad they’re in the past now.
I do yes, I still cannot talk about it to this day other than what I write now, it has been 8yrs and it still brings a tear to my eyes
None that got away, but many chances I didn’t take because I never felt good
enough.
Yes, i was too young and immature to understand the love that was in front of me sadly
