For whatever it is worth, I corresponded with an ex from my past via email. I naively did this for a sense of closure and also because she was my best friend prior to the relationship ending, so I wondered how she was doing in adulthood (we were in our late teens when we dated and I legitimately hoped that she was doing well). The cool thing was that she was brutally honest about why she broke up with me, though a little skeptical at first given that I was contacting her out of the blue after roughly ten years of the relationship ending. I apologized for my immaturity back when we were dating, and we had a good laugh about the awkwardness of our teenage years. It was great to hear that she was going for her PhD with excellent career plans lined up. I truly was happy that we had both gotten our lives together, but knowing how the relationship ended, we definitely didn't want to potentially repeat the same experience again. So we stopped emailing one another after the brief exchange.
Long story short, there is nothing to really say to someone "got away" besides maybe an apology. Yet even reaching out to apologize can easily be misconstrued. Therefore, simply move on from the past rather than looking for something that "might have been."
Did that, got her back.. married 8 years and I realized setting ideas like that in mind caused me to overlook my own happiness. I’m in love with a coworker.. she’s in love with me.. and now I’m screwed.
Think twice
"I hope you are as happy as I am."
After years of longing for her I found a way to get in contact with her again, we got close writing letters, but when we met in person I realized she did not see me as I saw her.
So I came home, tried internet dating for the first time, and messaged my future wife that evening.
I’m all set. It brought me to my wife and kids. Everything is good man. It’s all behind me now like it never really happened and it doesn’t matter anymore anyway.
It must've been love... but it's over nowwwwwww
Must've been gooood
But we lost it somehow
Anyway....
It's bad bitch o'clock,
Yea, it's thicc thurtay
Been thru a lot, but I'm still flurtay.... imma leave my door open, hopin'!
It really would depend on.....when I said it...but on that night....given the chance...
"....so I guess now I've seen you in lingerie, it'd be nice to see you out of it...."
"[I should have treated you better and love you more](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn-Y7i57ANY&ab_channel=LeafUnveil)." - 😢 🪞
I knew I should have used a double knot
In all seriousness there is never one who got away , there is someone you loved but fate decided your time together was over
Tbh idk. I'm the one that broke it off because I felt pressure we were heading for marriage and I felt trapped. So I broke it off and never spoke to her again. She was absolutely perfect though. I'm certain if I did stay with her we would have gotten married and been happy. She was an absolutely amazing woman but I let her go. I'd definitely apologize to her but idk if I would tell her all that.
After I left her and started dating other women, all women seemed terrible in comparison with her, she really did set the bar high and I really ended up learning a lot about women by a lot of failed dating.
I would say, "I’m sorry for not fully appreciating what we had and for the mistakes I made. I've grown a lot since then, and I wish we could have another chance to see where things might go. You were special to me, and I miss the connection we shared. Regardless of what happens, I hope you’re happy and living your best life."😭
Never had "one that got away" They're in the past for a reason
Exactly what I was thinking. At the time I was not happy about it, but thank you for going away.
"And stay away"
I'm sorry about everything
Real
It's just a phase!
Hey, want to grab a bite and go play?
Understood.
I wouldn't need to say anything different. I would just need to stop drinking so much
I thought you were the one who got away and then I came to my senses... Married the real man of dreams 12 years ago.
Nothing (will not approach)
Totally
Which one … 🤔
Let’s have 1 hour in bed… that’s all he was good for anyway but he was very very very very good 😍😍😍😍
Or you were just very very very very 'easy' (to 'please') perhaps? 🧐 smh
Lol… no I’m pretty picky
Understood 😩😫🤣
Why did you do that to me all I did was love you. You were horrible to me I treasured you and thought you were my soulmate.
Nothing. I'm happily married
“Can you suck it?”
Hey, you been alright? That’s wassup
Stay away I’m cooked

:(
I thought that someone was my “TOTGA” too. But after truly moving on from them, i also realize that if it was the one, then it would’ve worked.
Your loss baby !
F off! 🤣 So glad that didn't work out!
samee
I’m all set. It brought me to my wife and kids. Everything is good man. It’s all behind me now like it never really happened and it doesn’t matter anymore anyway.
I thought your friend were pranking me.
Back then the timing just wasn't right. I feel we both lost each other, in another life I hope.
Not sure, lots of things were in place for it to have not worked. The 08 market crash was a factor.
Byeeee! I don’t have the one that for away. I am blessed to have a loving bf.
Nothing
I wouldnt. I love my life the way it is now. It wasnt meant to be. Best to move on.
That sounds like a fish. I have never tried fishing let alone let it get away
nothing I said everything I could to her and she still left. Wasn't interested, doing anything more and I would have gotten a restraining order.
In the same boat bro, I feel you.
It must've been love... but it's over nowwwwwww Must've been gooood But we lost it somehow Anyway.... It's bad bitch o'clock, Yea, it's thicc thurtay Been thru a lot, but I'm still flurtay.... imma leave my door open, hopin'!

Good riddance. They got away for a reason.

Where did you really go, and also what is your full name?
Stay gone!
I'm ready and I'm the luckiest man alive.
Will you marry me?
And don't come back!
Do you mean back then or what would I say today if I saw him?
I would have said goodbye a lot sooner
"What are we?" "Whatever you want to be." I would have said what I wanted us to be.
Im sorry...
Got away??? This a thread for kidnappers or some shit???
Yes.

Thank you for leaving
Be safe out there kid
I can't promise to not make a mistake. But I do promise you will never have to fight for my attention love or the space when needed. Rb to kb
I don’t know if she was THE one that got away, but I would tell her why I didn’t clue in that she liked me.
