When "the one" doesn't think YOU are "the one"

[ilovemyglo]

I had this happen- I dated a guy for ages and he broke up with me after three years (it wasn't the first time we broke up, but was the first one that stuck). I was devastated- I felt like my world was over... six months later he came back and we tried to be together but during that period I took a long hard look at myself, my goals and how this person, and I realized that I wanted different things in life. If he was "the one" wouldn't they coincide?
Fast forward five years later.. I only had one real boyfriend after him, we dated for 2 years long distance. We break up and six months later I met Joel. He and I- well I knew after two weeks this is the way it is supposed to be. We are supportive of each other and our dreams, we work to tackle situations together and everyday I realize how blessed I am to have him in my life- we are getting married in June.
I had kept touch with "Mr. Right" off and on through the years and when I called to tell him I was engaged, I let him know I was doing it because I didn't want him to hear through the grapevine, or whatever. He called me a four letter word that begins with a C and I hung up.
Apparently he hung on to the hope that we still were really meant to be together, no matter how many times I told him we didn't work together, he didn't get it!
