About this listen

This episode borrows its title from one of the most famous songs of the ’80s — a track so haunting and unforgettable it became a global anthem of longing. Years later, it was reimagined by The Notorious B.I.G., introducing a whole new generation to its power.

But here’s the question: Why does a song like that still resonate? Because we all know the feeling of watching, waiting, and wondering about someone who slipped out of our lives. Was he the one who got away, or just the one who broke you?

In Episode 248 of You’re Probably Right, we go beyond the lyrics, beyond the nostalgia, and into the real-life stories of love lost, heartbreak, and the myths we tell ourselves about “the one.”

📝 Show Notes (Spotify-Safe but Intriguing)

  • Why we romanticize people who hurt us

  • Nostalgia vs. reality — editing out the pain

  • What heartbreak teaches us (whether we like it or not)

  • Why most “one that got away” stories don’t hold up under truth

  • The rare times love circles back — and why they’re rare

  • Reflection questions to help you let go, or let in someone new

Reflection Prompt:

  • What are you really missing — him, or how you felt when it was good?

  • Would you take back the joy if it meant living with the same pain again?
