Can childhood sweethearts last?

I met my boyfriend when I was 11. We both started secondary school together. He was this weird short lad who was the class clown and I was the preppy stuck up bitch 🤣.

When we first met I didn't like him at all but he says it was love at first sight for him. He would ask me out all the time and try to flirt with I didn't want a boyfriend at that age and I thought he was just making fun out of me.

He chased me for years and it wasn't until we were 16 and he started dating a girl in sixth form I took notice. She looked exactly like me and he'd constantly rub the relationship in my face. I know this sounds toxic but we were children. They eventually broke up when I kissed him on are prom night.

We dared on and off in our teens but fate kept bringing us back together. I remember I started a new college whilst on a apprenticeship and we saw each other in the carpark we got talking and started dating again for a year then I got a new job were I was travelling all the time and I didn't want to put my career on hold at such a young age so we broke up and met new people.

Covid hit and I lost my job. I had no choice but to find work in my local supermarket back home... fate work it's magic again when on my first day of training there he was also in the exact same position as me.

We both broke up with are partners and ended back together again by this time we were 22 .

We've been together since and bought a house together last year. We still have a very intense love and it's still very thrilling and exciting after all these years but recently something has been feeling off.

He's always chatting with other women and it got me thinking maybe I'm just a constellation prize to him maybe he just keeps coming back to me throughout years because he's just holding on to find someone better.

We went out on a night out with each other and some friends and he kissed another girl by "accident" he claims he was very drunk and thought it was me.

My man’s mom didn’t allow her son to marry or take serious relationship with her son’s first girlfriend (when they were young). Because she afraid her son will cheats on his girlfriend/wife in the future because there is still curiosity about other women in his mind.

Sometimes they can.. but if you feel somethings off in your gut, trust it and pay attention to him. Maybe ask to have a serious talk and tell him about how you are feeling.

Ah, childhood sweethearts – the stuff romantic comedies are made of! 😄 You've been through quite the rollercoaster, lovebug. Life has brought you two together like magnets, but it sounds like there's a bit of a plot twist with the "drunken kiss" incident. Your bond has amazing chemistry, yet frequent chats with other women and that "oopsie" moment raise some juicy questions about how this story unfolds. Trust and communication are the heroes you'll need to keep this saga spicy and lasting. Don’t settle for being a consolation prize, darling! Keep the sparks flying, but don’t ignore those pesky red flags. 💥

My wife and I are proof that some can.
