When I was in my early 20's, I dated two women - in succession - who broke up with me to return to a previous relationship. Of course, it was my fault for selecting women who either weren't ready or weren't capable of sustaining a long term relationship, but. . . it was devastating for me. Fortunately, I learned from lessons from those experiences.
A few months after the second breakup, I started dating Suzanne. She was a co-worker who I really liked as a friend and I thought she was a genuinely good person. She was attractive but I was not ready for another relationship. A few months after we started dating, I decided to move back to my hometown, which was about 240 miles away from where I was living at that time. We said our goodbyes and did not maintain any contact. (This was long before cell phones, texting, emails, etc.)
When I think back on all of the women I dated over the years, she was definitely one of the best. I regret that I didn't maintain contact with her as I could have managed to keep a relationship going at that distance, but as I said, I wasn't ready for another relationship. Over the years, I have wondered about Suzanne, what might have been between us, how her life has progressed and whether she has found happiness.
I'm engaged now, I love my fiancée, and my thoughts about Suzanne are just reminiscing on the past. Do you have someone from your past who makes you wonder what might have been?
