‘When the One Who Got Away... Comes Back’: Women Share Their 'Perfect Match' Breakup Stories; Some End in Happily Ever After, While Others Are Simply Tears Lost in the Rain

Woe to those who experience the heartbreak of their perfect match 'getting away'… the one they thought they would spend their life with. You walk about life, innocent, until the rug is pulled from under your feet. Suddenly, the cheese to your burger, the peanut to your jelly, the milk to your cookies… is gone, leaving you with nothing but a lonely patty, a piece of bread with jelly, and a glass of milk.

You go on dates with other people, but nobody is like this one person that you just can't seem to forget. That's it, you realize you've lost 'the one'. Until one day, just when you've given up all hope, this person comes back. The one who got away… is suddenly 'the one' again, minus the got away part. Except… are they? Have things changed? Are you still compatible? Is the trust too broken to repair? Women answer all these questions and more in a wholesome, bittersweet Reddit Thread on r/AskWomen.

Scroll down to read what they had to say to this intriguing question: Women who were left by their "perfect matches" while both still in love, how are you now? Did they ever come back to you?

For more, here is a woman who kinda lost it on a guy she hadn't even technically met yet from Tinder, ruining his birthday with her bleak accusations and spamming of texts.
