[quote=Anonymous]He was insecure and intimidated by me, and felt inadequate, so broke up with me.  At least that was his explanation when we talked about it; that he didn’t think he was ‘good enough’ for me.  I was shocked that he would think that because I thought we were equals (went to the same college but I had a professional degree and he didn’t).  I think the problem is that he had a crush on me for years before we started dating, and thought I was out of his league.  The breakup was devastating; I, both sets of parents, and ourfriends, thought we would eventually get married and that a proposal was imminent.  Interestingly we both ended up getting married (not to each other) almost exactly three years after we broke up.  His wife is gorgeous, definitely more attractive than I am,  but less academically accomplished. We are no longer friends because the attraction never went away and I felt it would be bad for our marriages to maintain a flirty friendship.

We could have gotten back together — he tried to woo me back before I got serious with my now DH — but I was afraid to set myself up for another heartbreak.  I wish we could have found a way to remain friends, but think doing so would have been disrespectful to our spouses.[/quote]
