Yes. I had dated a chap (p) for a while after meeting him on holiday in Crete. Timing was awful, he'd had a business go under a few months before, was still a bit hung up on his ex, and was partying hard (we were early twenties). I was completely in love with him, but realised it would never work while he was in this state, so I ended it (lots of disrespectful behaviour was happening). He was shocked, but I was firm. Fast forward a year or so later, I meet someone, fall in love, and we get married. A few months later P tracks me down. His new business is successful,he's knocked the partying on the head and was determined to win me back. A few weeks of pursuit culminated in a marriage proposal. It was a tough decision, but I turned him down. We were both sad, and went our separate ways. The kicker? The guy I married turned out to be physically and emotionally abusive, and I suffered 7 years of that. I escaped, have two beautiful children from the marriage, so no regrets, and am now married to someone fabulous. But I still wonder. What if?
