He’s Thinking It’s Time To Purchase A Plane Ticket, Fly Across The Country, And Tell His Ex That She’s The One Who Got Away Before Her New Boyfriend Proposes To Her
A 33-year-old guy was dating his 31-year-old ex-girlfriend for close to 5 years, and their relationship came to an end in March of last year.
It wasn’t that he cheated on her or did something terrible; he just admits now that their relationship ended because he wasn’t the best boyfriend and he didn’t give her the attention she deserved.
His ex was the very first relationship that he had that was super serious, and at the time, he just didn’t understand the significance of everything that she did for him and for their relationship.
So, last March, his ex moved 3,000 miles away to live on another coast, and he didn’t chase after her.
Instead, he thought she was nuts for moving so far away from everyone that she knew and loved.
His ex was the one who ended up giving him an ultimatum when she moved, and that was it. That was the end of them.
In the end, his ex said he was attempting to hold her “future hostage,” and he considered her to be crazy for accusing him of that.
In hindsight, he can genuinely see that he was lazy toward her and never made her a priority in his life.
After he and his ex were done, he didn’t think he would have a hard time at all moving on and finding someone new, but that’s not how things have gone.

“In the last 20 months, I have not met a single soul that holds a candle to her – she is so funny, smart, beautiful, likable, has an amazing family, a great career, and really is the whole package,” he explained.
“I am kicking myself for letting “the one” go. I haven’t clicked with anyone because I often find myself comparing them to her. To be honest, after the first few months, I’ve been pretty miserable. I didn’t think it was going to be like this. She has seemingly not had the same experience (gathered from Instagram and our mutual friends). She met a guy on her first day there. They live together, they adopted a puppy, and she, by all accounts, looks happy. I just heard through the grapevine the guy asked for her dad’s permission to propose on a ski trip to Chamonix. I just feel like this should’ve been me.”
“I can’t stop thinking about her, and I feel like if I don’t act now – there is no chance I will ever get her back. I’m prepared to buy a plane ticket, and beyond that, I haven’t really thought this through.”
He’s left wondering if it would be insane of him to purchase that plane ticket, fly across the country, and tell his ex that she was the one who got away before her new boyfriend gets down on one knee.
Do you think he should do this?
