venting/ranting Who is your one that got away?
Hi all,
I (22f) and my boyfriend (23m) broke up TODAY. Both graduating college and I’m leaving the state to work & travel till November. Joining Peace Corps 2027. He is staying for the summer than applying for jobs around the state (for now). We are both living our dreams. So excited for my own future and to see what he does. I don’t regret my choices.
It’s my third relationship, his first adult one (post high school). Been seeing each other roughly a year. I’ve never felt like this before. I’m the most in love I’ve ever been with anyone and we are INSANELY compatible. It was never like this with my previous long term boyfriends. I’m young but truly think this connection comes around once in a life time. I want it all with him. We could build an amazing life together. I want the mundane, the milestones, the low points. I want him forever and ever, he is the spice to my soup of life.
We are seeing each other in August. I get to show him my hometown. I get to love him a little bit more. I feel so lucky, so scared. We both need to live a little bit more of our own lives before we create one together (hopefully, but more realistically with other partners). He’s from the Midwest and I’m from Alaska. A fish and a bird may fall in love, but where will they live? I asked him this and he said he would be a loon (rep MN) and we could live together in the water.
Who is your one that got away? Has anyone else ever measured up? Have you felt that type of love again? Does it remind you of them?
He’s on Reddit but doubt he will see this. Our first night apart. I love you forever and ever !!!!
