[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two. Dated #1 from end of college through a few years out. Broke up because he was super independent—wanted to go on “adventures” and it didn’t hugely matter to him if I was along for the ride or not. (As compared to a partner who would enjoy planning and going on awesome trips together.) He wasn’t a flake. Very responsible and methodical, actually. But not a deep need to be partnered. I wanted to get married and also I wanted to be in a relationship that was more interdependent. So we split. Ten years later, he is still single and hasn’t dated much.

#2 I dated for 1.5 years. I loved him, but then I met the guy I ended up marrying and eventually realized I had to take a chance losing something really good if it meant a shot at something truly great. So I broke up with the boyfriend and started dating my now husband. Best decision I ever made. [/quote]

How did #2 take it? Is he married now?[/quote]

It was about 6 years ago that we broke up. He started dating another woman seriously maybe a half year later. I think they dated for a couple years, but have since broken up and I don’t think he’s seeing anyone now. After we broke up, he tackled a bunch of career-related goals that he’d been kind of lackadaisical about while we were together, and I get the sense he’s doing well professionally and has the career part of his life on track. He thought I was the one, so the break up was hard on him. We aren’t facebook friends, but we met for coffee once about two years after the breakup. We don’t live in the same state anymore. Didn’t get the sense the girlfriend that followed me was going to be it for him, but I hope he finds someone. He’s a great guy, and, had I not met my husband, I might have married him and been reasonably happy.[/quote]
