Do you ever think about the one that got away?

[costerica]

I have 2. One of them now travels the world working on documentaries. Prob with too small a budget for me to be a trailing spouse so I’d be lonely. He had a HUGE penis though. We met at the wrong time then I met DH before the time was right. The second, we had a very intense fling just before I went travelling. He wanted me to commit and I wanted to be freeeee to shag randoms in Thailand or wherever. When I got back he had moved to Scotland to do a secondment. He’s a barrister now and I bet is bloody minted. Would probably also be lonely with the long hours etc.

I do think about them both a lot though. Tell me about yours.

I proposed. She said "Let me think about it." She's now a senior police officer. Not really sure I'd have enjoyed being a copper's DH. A friend of my now DW who's married to a guy who went from the Navy to the police says being a Navy wife beats being a police wife hands down.

I used to think of him often, but he married and had children.

Then out of the blue some years ago, he got in touch and now we are married.

I don’t exactly have a one that got away. But I do think of a particular ex quite often and sometimes I dream about him.

I still think of him. We had a lovely relationship. He told me he’d fallen head over heels for me and I was really happy. The next day he became distant and told me the feeling he had for me had just turned off like a switch. It ripped my heart to shreds as I would have married him. I lost my dignity a bit in the aftermath as he’d been pursuing me for weeks and had even dive a really romantic gesture to catch my attention. It’s outing so I can’t say what. I met him a year or two later and we sober the night together (just talking no sex) I asked about what happened. He said he was scared as he was falling really deeply and the last time it happened he got badly hurt (I knew about this but I wasn’t like her). He said I was out of his league and that would always scare him. A few years later I met my DH and moved on with life. From Facebook stalking I know he married eventually, the thing is she seems to totally not be his type but it was 10 years on from me and him so maybe he’s changed, maybe he’s settled but I wish him no ill will.

Occasionally but not with regret - I would never have been happy with him. He would probably have bored me to tears after a while and he was a bit selfish. I’m very lucky to have a DH with a great big heart who keeps me interested and amused every day, so I’m not wasting time on regrets for someone who wasn’t anything like as good.

Gosh no. Not had a one that didn't get away either but I feel I've had many lucky escapes!
