I was the one that got away because someone wouldn't commit. At the time I was hurt, but in the end it was the biggest favor anyone ever did for me. I was able to marry the one I am in love with.

Your question reminds me of a book of the same name.A German soldier who got away from the strict guard of the Allies has boasts about it. However, on reading it I had a nagging feeling that the guy is perhaps trying to convince himself over and over again what a thing he pulled off.The tragic turn the WW II took and the exposure of the Fuherer's atrocities against the Jews shattered the world of this simple soldier . His tomtoming of the escapades sounds more like a dirge.
Don't you feel that your case and that of the other answerers is similar In your case he just wanted time before he could commit himself. What was wrong in this simple expectation ?In your society this did not necessarily mean total preclusion of mutual contact.And even presuming that in the end he had decided not to go ahead do you not feel that this togetherness for a time would have been a cherished memory in your life.A life together has meaning provided it is a sharng of each other's dreams . I cannot help feeling that you and the other answerers are repeatedly congratulating yourself to convince yourself that how smart you were in getting away.It is no getting away which needs repeatedly reassuring oneself how smart you were in slipping through the net. We have in India a temple at the southern most tip of the coutry (Cape Komorin(Virgin). It is dedicated to a goddess who is a virgin waiting for ages for her man she loves to come ready with a garland in her hand .They say he may arrive when the entire universe is due for annihilation and in fact their coming together would herald it. But neither she nor her cohort has any regrets. The bridegroom to be is busy in engaged in a ceaseless batter with the evil forces out to destroy the world..

Sweet Barbara, my first love from 12/62 through 9/65. She didn't GET AWAY, but, after years of thinking about it, she had finished her job of leading me to Christ. I joined the Navy and she married the man she was supposed to marry, and was married over 20 years until he had a massive heart attack. I married the woman God had for me in 1969, and we're still married.
Did she 'get away'? No, she was meant to be where she was and had to move on. I sent her a letter a few years ago, thanking her for her part in my salvation. She still has a piece of my heart, and knows it, because my sister, as keen as she is figured it out and since they live close together in a small town, my sister let Barb know. My sister wouldn't tell me what Barb said, but she smiled 'that smile' at me when I asked.

she was a princess indeed
but we were both young
it was a wild and exciting relationship
and we were both hotheads and perhaps a bit insecure even tho so very similar - like I said: young
she moved in with me and we both had a lot of friends that ended up all meeting each other
we lived in a resort area and were king and queen of society
but privately our insecurities and our hot headed lies in the midst of wild arguments poisoned our joys all too often
her father got to know me just as well as he was used to her
he asked her to go off and help him with something across country just to give us a bit of breather time because he thought we were on verge of separating and very much wanted to avoid anything drastic happening
While on the other side of the continent she perished
along with her mother and little sister
The house we had lived in went up in flames so I never even had any tangible souvenirs of the relationship
and a couple years ago her father (who had become an Episcopalian priest and was still a friend) also passed on
That is the one that I let get away
sometimes I still dream that we are still living in the good times that we did have

High School Sweetheart...Lord, I thought I was in love, big time! I wanted a college education, but she wanted to get married ... I went to college, she dropped me like a hot potato, married a classmate of hers right out of HS, that one lasted one year and one child ! At the time, I was mortally wounded, but recovered. AS they say, some of life's best things are unanswered prayers...!!! She did not turn out to be what she presented herself to be. I escaped to live and love again.

Mine was a pretty little Italian girl that was so hot, but, she scared the pants right off me. Maybe it was for the better. There were some things you don't do or, didn't on the first date back then.

My first love, because I came from a poor background and he didn't. I never felt good enough for him, so I acted inappropriately knowing he would break up with me. I could never bring myself to tell him my feelings. I still regret it.
