I’ve been having a few conversations lately with random guys, and I realized a lot of them have loved a woman for years who they consider the love of their lives, but aren’t with her anymore. Is this actually common with guys? And why? And honestly what I really don’t understand is, if she means that much to you, why aren’t you with her? What’s stopping you? Not gonna lie, this scares me. I don’t wanna be anyone’s consolation prize. I don’t wanna marry a man who spends his time thinking about another woman. Edit: To clarify, I’m not talking about a crush or someone who never liked them back. I mean a woman they were actually in a relationship with, loved, and lost, and instead of fighting for it at the time, they just let it go and now spend years still thinking about her. That’s the part I don’t get. submitted by /u/Public-Can-7590
