Is it normal to feel like this? The one that got away...

NC for this one...

I split with my ex a year ago, have been very happy since as it was a toxic relationship and I often feel like I wished I’d made the right choice 9 years ago. I basically was young and thought I wanted the ‘bad boy’ when in reality the other man was perfect. We were just close friends but he had expressed his feelings for me, he was a gentleman but back then I thought that was boring. Nothing sexual ever happened between us and apparently after we’d stopped speaking he was very hurt (he hasn’t been on social media since). I find myself thinking about him a lot recently. I wish I could go back and speak to myself back then lol. Just a bit of a rant really. 😕

You’d have to be very lucky to go through life with no regrets. We look back with incredulity and question our own sanity. Sometimes you can reconnect with your past but you’d need to be careful. Unfortunately you may just have to live with the sadness of what could have been.

A lot of people think things like that but the reality is that he wasn't what you wanted back then so you wouldn't have worked out
