Men who still think about the one who got away

Tell me your fantasies (keep it PG) and feelings and regrets.
I am curious what men think about their former flames. I rekindled a romance with mine but broke things off and stopped contact once I realized he wanted an AP. I’ll always love him on some level but don’t want to speak again, even though he reached out. I understand now to “leave the past, in the past.” |

| Men don't think about "the one that got away." That's woman thinking. |

My hubby actually brought up his first love once. Surprised me, to be honest. He's usually pretty tight-lipped about that kinda stuff. It wasn't a big deal or anything - just a passing thought he shared. |

He reached out because he knew it'd be easy. Finding somebody new and starting from step 1 requires a higher level effort. Boomeranging back to an old flame lets you take advantage of a shared history and pickup where you left off. |

| What a weird and boring thread. |

| My husband is far more successful and has aged incredibly well that I never give a thought about my exes. I’m glad I got away! I turned down two proposals and the third time was a charm! |

| This seems more common of a psychological thing for women than men. Men are less prone to regret and what ifs. If they married you, they are either content or if they are dissatisfied with the relationship, they may be thinking about affair or divorce, but they don’t daydream about some ex years ago. |

+ ha So true. I remember every single one of my husband’s best friend’s many ex-gfs and details and every one he had before me. 25 years later they can’t remember almost any of them. I will bring something up and sometimes they still don’t remember. |

That’s simply not true. I think about my college girlfriend from 20 years ago. The problem is that I tend to think about the good times and have to proactively remind myself of the reasons why we were ultimately incompatible. |

| Most men have zero recall. And yeah some AP they banged a decade ago they certainly can’t even remember amongst the others. lol |

| OP- he’s not thinking of you. Move on. Put away the rose colored glasses. |
