How long were you with your first love and when did you get over your first love/relationship?

[SlightlyEccentric]

I met my first love in the library of my middle school. We talked quite a lot and the friendship felt quite natural. We were together for 4 years. For awhile things were great. We'd call each other, go over to each others houses for dinner and hang out. Then... I don't know, she started getting more controlling.

The relationship got uncomfortable after I asked her once if she'd watch LotR with me and she gave me some nonsense about how fantasy was "devil worship." We finally broke up after I made a joke about her friends being hoes. It really was a witty joke but they took it way too seruosuly, almost like their was truth to it.

We ended up getting back together for a short stint but it didn't last and I made a vow shortly after that I would never ever get back with an ex.

I was in two more relationships after that, both of which ended in miserable heartbreak and I have not sought another relationship since. No flings, no 1NS, no regular and especially on long-term relationships. I really am that fearful of having to go through the heartache again and feel a lot safer and content being single.

In ways I still haven't gotten over my first love because I still believe in my heart of hearts that she would have been the one I married. But some otherworldly power overruled that and said no.

I don't know but I still kinda miss her. I really wonder if I ever could have convinced her how ridiculous some of her beliefs are.

Was with her for three years, age 15-18. Got over her when, after three years of abuse and exploitation, I finally snapped and beat the living shit out of her. Since it was her word against mine (I used to wear gloves back then as part of some juvenile pathetic fashion statement, so no finger prints) I got off scotch free, while she still isn't able to get pregnant :) Last I heard she was trying to adopt but as a single woman too stupid to learn something valuable she isn't making enough to qualify. Don't y'all just love a happy ending?

2 years together.. Hang out together all the time, But he never confess his feelings to me, or introduce me to his family or friend.. So i step back... try to avoid him.. and it become complicated after.. Cause he still send me birthday cake, present or souvenir after he back traveling..
well 2 years ago i find someone else.. But Last year he still send me bunch of present 2 weeks after my birthday, which surprise me, cause i never talk to him like almost a year... Well actually i think part of me just want a closure... Like ask him why he dont want introduce me to his family and friends? Or why he never confess his feeling to me?

About a year then he left for the marines and completely changed with the way he treated me. Took me about 2 weeks since I had gotten so used to not having him around or even talking to him.

My first love and I dated for a year and a half in highschool. Grade 11 to half way through grade 12. I had no idea I could have feelings for someone like that, and if I'm being honest it was a perfect example of "you don't know what you have until its gone". It was a comfortable relationship, we respected eachoteher, told each other everything, hung out all the time, and communicated well. However; I knew it wouldn't last forever, I knew I never saw myself getting married and raising a family with him.
I Broke up with him, and it was one of the most painful days of my life. We cuddled on a couch for 2 hours afterwards and cried. It hurt so bad, and I still cared deeply for him but I knew it wasn't right anymore.
Its now 2 years later and I am in a happy relationship with a wonderful guy that I love. We have been dating 7 months and I see a future with him that I could never really see with my first love. However; i still think of my highschool sweetheart often, daily. I worry about him and hope he is doing well, although I am extremely happy with my current boyfriend and wouldn't want to take back my highschool boyfriend.
I feel like you may never really get over your first love, they will always hold a special place in your heart, but it does get easier over time and you will find other love. I am 100% sure when I am 50 years old with children and a dog ill still think about him occasionally and hope he is happy.

I still am. And i'll never get over her. The game of basketball is just too ingrained in me. We've had our good times and our bad times. Sometimes i have to walk away for a bit. But that thump of a basketball against hardwood. The screech of sneakers on a court and the swish of the ball going through the net is a siren song that will always bring me back.

We were on again and off again for about 3 years. The longest we were together without interruption was 8 or 9 months. Last time we were together in any capacity was around 9 years ago. I've accepted that the relationship is long-since dead, and have dated other people since, but I've never really gotten over it.

I was with my first love for almost a year. I do not think I'm fully over it and she has been at the back of my mind every time I've dated and even in my 2nd relationship.

Kindergarten to 8th grade, and it was recently that I got over her because I realized that she was not on the same similar path as me.

[BigManSAB]

I was with mine for 19 months. We ended in 2013. I’m still upset about how she wronged me n humiliated me!

Those thoughts push away a hep life. I feel like Nekros Synaisthima but only if he could make a sad face.

[zhipppora]

We were together for almost 2 years and we started having problems. He was cheating and never wanted to admit when I got to find out. It took me 3 years to move on with my life

[Luckycharms12]
