“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?
