As in deep down you wish it was a previous partner but you settled for your current partner for whatever reason, this is something that nobody wants to discuss or acknowledge for obvious reasons as you obviously can’t really say to your current partner “you’re great, but there was this other person who was truly amazing but they rejected me so in the end I settled for you” even though that’s what you think
How many of you ended up with someone who wasn’t your first choice?

For those who first love left them, doesn’t that make everyone else not their first choice?
When I was in my 20s my first choice changed every week. I had two long relationships with people for whom I was not their first choice… It really doesn’t matter at all
I just can’t even comprehend the level of arrogance and narcissism it must take to convince yourself that you settled for someone. The implication being that you’re better than your partner, someone you’re supposed to love. Perhaps if you were the catch you think you are, more people would’ve been lining up to be with you. Wonder why that didn’t happen 🤔. I feel bad for your partner tbh.
