Them being the one who got away or the ones that were soooo sweet, you just couldn't abide something else in their character, or for any reason you two didn't last...
I love being married, but sometimes I find myself thinking about guys I used to date and what things about them I enjoyed. There are of course, an abundance of these same qualities in my husband, but you know, just as clothes look differently on different people, so do actions & traits that are inherently the same action or trait.
I certainly don't think I'm weird or anything because of this, and I don't think it has to do with being 'virtually' a newly wed (2 years) in the whole grand scheme of things. I think it's something we all do.
The thing I think about most are the letters I used to get from a boyfriend when he moved away. I still have a teddybear he sent me....
Who/what do you think of when you do?
This is a tough one. Depends on if you want to pursue a relationship or not!
huh? no no, i was only asking if peope ever thought of those they're no longer with. Nothing having to do with pursuing a relationship w/ them.
not until my sisters decides to tell me something new in the life of one of the gals from Highschool.
I was 23...she was a 36 year old flight attendant...could suck-start a Harlely.
Sure, onyxelle. Sure I do.
Married the one that got away, seventeen years later.
One other that got away I think of less and less as time goes.
Sure do, all the time. I had some really nice relationships that didn't last for one reason or other, but I still have very pleasant thoughts about some of my ex's. I think about sweet things they use to do and miss the warmth of being in their arms. I've let some wonderful guys go simply because I wasn't ready for what they wanted, which was to settle down. They started talking marriage and kids, but I was so young and that scared the hell out of me.
I don't think a day goes by where I don't think of them. It's almost like they're still a part of me.
That's because they are, Montana.
Our past experiences and relationships have made us what we are.
I am sorry I am new and did not really "get it". I know that thinking about such things is normal and it is a part of life. I have had this happen to me numerous times.
Our past experiences and what we have done with them is what makes us what we have become and who we are becoming. Old relationships are a part of us and they're influencial. But understanding how and why we've managed them is the potential for the future.
welcome Kabby. You'll fit right in here if you get comfused. I'm happy you've joined us.
thanks kabby (i didn't even realize!!!) welcome welcome welcome! welcome welcome welcome! (let's do the conga)
I like your signature, onyxelle.
I was thinking about Lola a few hours a go
I think about old boyfriends, wonder where they are and what they're up to. I'm not in contact with any of them. Don't know who' s alive or dead.
As far as the one that got away, don't have one of those. Each one was good riddance, more or less.
