If someone you used to be romantically involved with felt that you were the one who got away, would you want them to tell you about it right before their wedding day? Or would you prefer not to know?
As 2025 came to a close, this woman had a man from her past pop up and contact her. They caught up a bit before he literally called her the one who got away.
“He told me that he’ll always love me, and since we didn’t work out, he’s been looking for a girl like me. He also said that he’s getting married to a girl and she’s pregnant,” she explained.
“Needless to say, it was a lot, but I’m extremely happily married (sent him pictures of my husband and me) and basically told him I wish him well and whatnot.”
“Well, a month or so later, he reached out to me again and was super upset, said that his wife lost the baby, and he doesn’t really love her and doesn’t want kids with her. He was calling me and asking if I would ever move back to our hometown. I gently shut it down.”
This brings us to the present, and this man is still with that girl he married, except that they are pregnant for a second time.
Considering everything he revealed to her, she’s curious if she should reach out to that poor girl and tell her about what her husband was saying behind her back.
She does not know this girl, and she would hate to ruin a marriage, but she thinks that telling her the truth might just be the best thing to do.
“The much larger part of me is saying to mind my own business,” she continued.

I’m really surprised that she didn’t block this guy already, so she should hurry up and do that, since nothing good will come of him contacting her.
Talking to an ex who is interested in rekindling something with you while you’re married isn’t a wise thing. She really should not have replied in the first place, let alone twice. Silence would have been better for handling the situation.
I know it feels good, knowing you’re the woman a man quit thinking about, but that’s a dangerous thing to entertain. She should only block him and move on with her life, not try to stir things up with his wife, as she doesn’t know what went down between them, and they appear to be in a better place if they’re pregnant again.
What do you think she should do? Tell this guy’s wife about what he said to her, or stay quiet?
