What is your "the one that got away" story/moment?

Met in the Uni dorm. Never had problems with picking up girls but this one was way out of my league. She was absolutely stunning and very down to earth most caring and wonderful person I’ve ever met.After pursuing her for 3 months we started dating. Was the best relationship I ever had but there was one small problem she had a boyfriend which was abusive. Eventually had to call it quits due to the fact she couldn’t decide. Moved half across the world to start new life as everything reminded me of her.

The worst part when I was starting to get my shit together. Received a email from her saying I’m in Australia want to hook up ? Declined at this point as I just met my wife and we just started dating. After the break up it took me 5 years to get over her and I was not good place as every women was just a bed warmer.She eventually married her abusive ex and she became a kindergarten teacher.I know if I started dating her it would have killed me as the first time almost destroyed me.

I’m happy where Iam now but not going there lingers something back of my mind.What if ?
