The One that Got Away. Share your thoughts about this. ;)

[itsnikimendoza]

Hi everyone! I am just wondering, kung meron din ba kayong "the one that got away" sa buhay nyo?
Let me share my story.

I know I have this "the one that got away" guy. I met him when I was in college. He was a 4th year hs seminarian by then. Since minsan lang sya lumabas ng seminary, we write letters to each other, and asks our parents to give it to each other every Friday. At dahil chismosang kapitbahay ang parents ko, gumagawa pa kami ng mga codenames. He's really the sweet type of guy. I remember may mysterious na nagsesend sakin ng load thrice a week noon. (Hindi pa kasi uso unlitext so magastos talaga makipagtext lagi.) Text lang kasi means of communication namin non, (apart sa weekly exchange of letters) only to find out na sya pala yun! He even made poems for me. Sino ba naman hindi kikiligin diba? Shakespeare lang ang peg!:P We're in somehow I can say na "perfect relationship." Simpleng bagay lang yung mga pinagaawayan namin, and siguro dahil nga mga bata pa kami, nasesettle naman namin agad. Nagipon pa kami to buy "our" gameboy. O diba conjugal na agad! hehe. Same university kami nung college. But then, in between our smooth sailing relationship, we broke up. Sabi nia, mas okay daw kung magaaral nalang muna kami. COming from a family of doctors, talagang driven sya to strive for his future. And I can't blame him of course. Siguro hindi lang talaga ako ang priority nia before. Sinubukan kong isave yung relationship but he's really decided. After trying to talk to him for the last time, I finally said na okay narin. After that, wala na kaming communication. I had another boyfriend after him (before I met my husband) pero hindi rin nagwork. Wala naman akong regrets at all. May point lang before na naisip ko, what if we met at the right time? Yung kaya nya akong gawing priority? Yung mature na kami pareho to handle our relationship? But I guess some questions are better left unanswered.

Now I am happily married and expecting our first child this September. I even shared this story to my husband and I am really blessed to have a very understanding husband. Talagang ang sabi nya sakin, everything happens for a reason, kung hindi kami naghiwalay before (nun ex ko), baka hindi kami ang nagkatuluyan ngayon. I could not ask for a better partner than my husband kasi ibang level din naman ang pagmamahal nya sakin. Maybe, hindi lang talaga kami meant ni the one that got away guy.

The last time I heard, he's taking up medicine, may gf narin sya and he seems to be happy. I couldn't be happier for my "the one that got away." we're with our better partners now.

He got away for a reason, hindi talaga kayo para sa isa't isa. Hindi reason yun wala sa tamang time, wala sa tamang edad. Ang dami jan nagstart simula pagkabata at nagwork naman yun relationship nila. Hindi nrin hadlang yun studies, kung gusto ka nya talaga, walang makakahadlang!
Masaya minsan isipin yun mga what ifs in life kasi in your imagination, makakagawa ka ng ending your way. Kaso there's no point na din. Both of you are in a happy relationship.

I  had someone who I thought of as "the one who got away". We were together for 4 years. It wasn't a fruitful four years, I must say. Because I was always taken for granted (he took advantage of the fact that I was head over heels inlove with him) and he even cheated on me pa before we reached our 1st year anniv. He asked forgiveness and pinatawad ko sya. And then nung 4 years na kami, he cheated again. Tapos sinaktan pa ako nung girl. Ang nakakatawa lang, family nya pa galit sa akin kasi gawa-gawa ko lang daw yung kuwento na may nanakit sa akin (to think na nakita pa nila ako na sugatan and punit punit ang damit ha) tapos he broke up with me kasi ayaw na daw sa akin ng family nya. Naalala ko nagtext pa sa akin kuya nya, calling me 'bobo' 't****' and 'baliw' pero despite thaat, I was still hoping na he will eventually come back to me at ma-rerealize nya na sa laht ng babae sa mundo, ako lang ang kaya magmahal sa kanya unconditionally. For four years umasa ako na babalikan nya ako. I remained single for four years kasi nga hinihintay ko sya bumalik.

Tapos may nakilala ako na guy (hubby ko na sya ngayon)..and I fell for him. Then i realized na my ex and I broke up for a reason. So ngayon, hindi ko na iniisip na siya yung 'the one that got away' ko kasi tingin ko, kung nagkatuluyan kami ni ex, hindi din ako magiging masaya sa piling nya.

According to Steve Harvey "All men can change and all men will eventually change, but there is only one woman we will change for.."

My last ex changed for me. He used to enjoy car racing, babae, some drugs, medyo barumbado but when we met and decided to live together, I saw all the positive changes sa kanya.

There was one new year that he and his friends were in a drinking session, the friend invited some girls over to party with them, things got heavy pero umuwi sya. he called me past 1 AM to say hindi nya kaya maki join.

Now that we broke up, narerealize ko to lahat. He's far from perfect but he gave me what I didn't get from my previous partners. And sadly, I let him go. I let him got away.

Nahirapan akong mag move on sa kanya, baka nga pag nakaharap ko sya, kalimutan ko na naman lahat ng ginawa ko para makalimutan sya.

Pero happy na ko ngayon, we chat, wala ng epekto saken, unlike dati na nag hihintay ako ng messages nya. Ngayon keber na lang. Ewan ko na lang pag nagkita kame, that's why ayoko sya makita. Hanggang chat na lang sya.

My the one that got away just got to go hehe. Altho yun relationship namin was kind of passionate.. Intense pero siguro we were not meant for each other kaya ngayon may kanya kanya na kaming buhay. Im happy for him and i hope he is happy for me too.

Sometimes i'm wondering kung ano kaya ang nangyari if i ended up with this guy. He courted me for 2 years at napilitan lang ako sagutin siya. He's the sweetest guy, understanding, kind, everything that a girl could wish for. But i guess i'm one of those girls who likes the bad boy type. Kaya i broke up with him. Kung kami nagkatuluyan i know he wouldn't hurt me for sure pero ako alam ko na masasaktan ko siya.
