What happened with your "One that got away?"

I don't believe in the concept of "the one that got away."

I believe that if I were to follow that logic then I wouldn't have self growth or the ability to learn from my mistakes. Events and behavior happen and they have consequences, without those consequences you're left in a constant pit of unhealthy tendencies. Never changing.

That's not the case for everyone, and maybe I took the question a little too personally, but that's my experience with it.

I've almost always regretted 'letting that one get away' when relationships end, but truth be told it's always been better that it ends and coming away with something positive after you let time heal it.
