Hindsight is 20/20 vision!

I was the first woman. Set my standards and was willing to walk away. He proposed and then 6 months before the wedding I realised .... it really wasn't the healthy for me. He didn't really want the life we discussed he just didn't want to be single. He went on to marry the girl he dated next and I'm still not married 8 years later. Did the thought sting? Yes. Do I mourn the loss of that forever? Yes. Am I happier knowing what I did was right for me? Yes. He wasn't right for me in many ways and I'm sure I wasn't right for him in many ways. I think we have been deceived into thinking we each get one great love and everything else pales in comparison.... The truth is as we grow and mature love is different, exciting and new, soft and comfortable, safe and home, it's different. Whether you're the ex or the next nothing can invalidate the relationship and love you had. Relatable?
