[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regret not marrying my college boyfriend.  I've never been as in sync with (or understood by) another person again.  But I was 21 and wasn't thinking of long term commitment at all.  He married quickly after me and I married closer to 30.  I often wonder if he thinks of me in the same way.  I have a hard time believing he doesn't.  We just got each other.  Doesn't matter now but it's a regret.  [/quote]

FWIW I am thankful I did NOT marry my college-era boyfriend. We dated for almost six years. I was also felt very understood and in sync with him. I started my working career and became successful and he seemed to stall. Eventually he decided to do a radical move to a far distant place and I decided (thankfully) that I could not go with him although he tried HARD to get me to.  It broke my heart.

Twenty years later I happened to be travelling to his home town and met him briefly for a meal. He was still stalled after 20 years and was living with a professional woman who paid all the bills and had been supporting him for some time. They were not married and had no children. He seemed to have spent most of his time navel-gazing and decrying the state of the world.

Once in awhile I look at his social media profile and he seems to be the same.  [/quote]
