I was! 
Booya.
-
Yep.
-
Yes . . . twice. Although to be fair, until I met DH, the first one was also the one who got away from me.
-
Yes.... so many years ago. He still tries to pop back into my life from time to time.
-
I don't really know what that means… lol
-
Yes... he still writes every once in awhile..
-
Uhh... yes... too many times... I was a bitch. :T
-
Maybe? I tried really hard to maintain a relationship with someone I really, deeply cared for, despite lots of head games and immaturity. In the end, it was too little, too late. Of course, this was a few years before I began dating my husband. I do hope the best for him, but he's alluded to being disappointed I've happily moved on in a very permanent way. Then again, being "the one who got away" isn't really a concept I believe exists. If it's meant to work out, it will. Neither of us were right for the other. *shrug*
-
Yes, but we got our act together and we got married!
-
Nope! Not that I am aware of.
-
I would like to think so
But in reality, probably not. I do think of a couple of people here and there and wonder if they realized what they missed out on back then by being immature, unavailable, too caught up in their own stuff or whatever! No regrets on my end, but I do wonder if they have any. Does that make me a little self-absorbed?
-
Yep, and its because he was immature at the time. He has told me its his biggest regret, but too bad buddy. The ship has sailed!
-
Yes. I would have married my last boyfriend if it weren't for his little immaturity issues. He told me for years that he regretted his behavior and that he never changed ... Now, he's very happily married with a little girl. It makes me really happy to know he's happy. And, I'm happy I didn't settle back then.
-
Yes. Dated a guy for four years in college and broke up the night before graduation. (He went to a different school, at least!)
He texted me years later threatening to kill himself. Then e-mailed a few months later apologizing.
-
Yes, I broke off an engagement. I still feel really sad about it because he's a great guy (just not "the one" for me) and he hasn't found someone since. I know he wants a family and it just makes me sad to think that if we had stayed together he'd have that by now. I want him to find someone!
-
Yes. And he got crazy stalkerish for a while. I learned via Facebook he got married this summer. Good luck to her.
-
@autumnlove: same
-
Yes and he still attempts to contact me through friends and social media. Stalker
-
I wish! But I don't think so...
-
Yes. Oh young love...
-
Yes. He kept up the trying-to-get-me-back act for several years and got really ugly at times. Im not sure if he still feels this way - we are friends on FB and he has a lovely girlfriend now....
-
Yes, but it took me moving on and getting really serious with D for him to realize it. He calls me "the biggest question mark of (his) life".
ETA: He was mine, too.
-
Yes, three times & they were all very vocal about in their attempts to get me back later. I was that girl I guess people realized was great once we moved on (so strange!) HAHA DH was smart to never let me go, I very rarely went back to someone who had broke up with me (or me with him!)
Oh and want to talk small world the one who was most vocal even up to a year ago (after I was married and had a child) is now dating my daycare lady....I discovered this a few months ago. Want to talk about an awkward conversation....oh well all is good now. haha
-
Yes and thankfully I never have to see him again since he lives in another country now.
-
Yep. For a handful of guys. haha. Sad.
-
Yep! 2-3 times. I think they're all happily married now though.
-
Apparently an ex contacted my bff to try to get ahold of me again. She didn't give him my contact info because she knows what I think of him. (she ran it by me but of course I told her keep up the good work!)
-
@mrs. wagon: you man eater, you!
yep. he still hasn't had a real girlfriend since i asked him to move out. kinda sad. i wish him all the best, but we couldn't have worked.
-
Oh yes, many times
Okay, I just so wanted to write that like a boss. But, 3x I've been the one that got away, and they've tried to contact me in fruitless attempts to get me back since I've been MARRIED. Not uh, sorry!
-
Hm... In HS and college I had guy friends tell me after the fact that they wished they would have made a move but i don't know that I was the one that got away truly.
-
I have no idea. I don't talk to my exes. (I'm only talking about the 2 guys I was in serious, long-term relationships with). Not that I'm not all that and a bag of chips, but I highly doubt it. I'm sure they think of me every once in a while like I do them, but not in the "Damn, she was the one that got away" way. I think there's a difference between "the one that got away" and "I wonder what my life would have been like if we had stayed together?"
-
No!
-
You mean my psycho ex who showed up at my house until I moved, then called me until I changed my number, then emailed me until I got rid of that account? ... yep.
-
No, DH and I are childhood sweethearts, never dated anyone else. I DID have a crazy stalker though.
-
@Arden: Haha ... Well then, you truly did get away, and it's probably a good thing!
But in reality, probably not. I do think of a couple of people here and there and wonder if they realized what they missed out on back then by being immature, unavailable, too caught up in their own stuff or whatever!
