The One That Got Away

From MamaKat's writing prompt: Tell why you're ecstatic "the one that got away" got away.

I read that and thought to myself, I'm the one that got away.

And he should be glad.

Not that Mike doesn't have it good. It's just that, the first boy I was engaged to, well, he wouldn't have had it good. We weren't well matched. We were a good high school couple but would not have made it for the long haul (obviously). We would have married for the good times and when the bad times came along, we wouldn't have lasted.

Put it bluntly: it would have been a disaster.

Likely the majority of those I was involved with I could not have been married to. But I was never formally engaged to someone else. How did you get out of that one?
