Summary
Some people stay with us long after they're gone.
Not because they were the right person, but because we remember how they made us feel.
In this episode, I answer a question from a listener who can't seem to let go of someone she met two years ago. Their chemistry felt effortless. Their connection felt rare. Yet the relationship never became what she hoped it would.
Together, they explore why certain people become impossible to forget, how nostalgia can distort the story we tell ourselves, and why chemistry alone is never enough to build a great relationship.
If you've ever wondered why you still can't get over someone who was never truly yours, or why every new person seems to fall short by comparison, this episode may change the way you think about heartbreak.
And if you're ready to go beyond understanding your heartbreak and start actively healing from it, join me for Healing Immersion Month LIVE—a 30-day coaching experience designed to help you let go, rebuild your confidence, and move forward with expert guidance and a supportive community. We start on July 28, 2026.

| 0:00.0 | Hi Matthew and the gang. I recently listened to your podcast from April this year titled |
| 0:10.0 | How to Get Over the One Who Got Away and it made me realize I could use your help. |
| 0:15.7 | Two years ago, I met someone. He came into my life out of nowhere and it was easy. It wasn't obsessive. |
| 0:23.5 | It wasn't addictive. It was just easy and good. Our connection and chemistry was everything |
| 0:31.2 | I ever wanted. A few weeks later, he ghosted me. We eventually had a conversation. |
| 0:39.3 | He wasn't ready for a relationship. |
| 0:42.1 | We stayed friends. |
| 0:43.7 | A few months later, we tried again after being friends for six months. |
| 0:48.6 | It obviously didn't work again. |
| 0:51.5 | I didn't trust him enough and it was hard. We stayed in touch and continued to see each other, |
| 0:58.2 | often taking things very, very slow. And suddenly, I discovered he had a girlfriend. It's been a year now. |
| 1:08.3 | I have traveled a lot and went on a solo trip to Bali. I have dated, |
| 1:13.8 | but nothing compares. He once told me he saw himself marrying me, but he wasn't ready for |
| 1:19.6 | anything like that. He wasn't ready to be the man I needed. We see each other around, but we never |
| 1:26.4 | speak, and it feels as if the connection and |
| 1:28.8 | chemistry is still there and others point it out. How do I get over him? How do I make myself see |
| 1:37.4 | that he is not the person for me? Please help. I don't want to waste another year. |
| 1:48.6 | I think this is such a relatable email. |
| 1:50.4 | Tell us why. |
| 1:54.1 | You know, it wasn't the great love story of, you know, |
| 1:58.7 | a five-year-long relationship where you got a dog together and had a house. |
| 2:02.6 | I just mean that it was a lot of the time they're very short-lived. |
