Are you still in touch with your 1st love? If not do you think about them?

This discussion came to mind while watching late night tv. I got to thinking. At the time 1st love is end all be all. It can be life altering for some. So I was wondering how many of you are still in contact with or think about your 1st love. For me, no not really. Not until I started this discussion at least. I married my best love.

My first real love was a girl in college named, Charlotte. I had girlfriends before her, but she was the first one that I would have married if I had been given a chance. It didn't work out, but I have good memories of dating her despite the bad ending. Of all my girlfriends, she is the only one I can say that about.

I had 3 children with who I thought was my first love. I was 16 when we started dating, 18 when we got married. I was 19 when our first son was born. Whether or not he was my first love is a moot point to me anymore. We are divorced and both re-married. We are friendly to one another and talk often. We get along better now that we are not married. I am very much in love with my husband now. Whether he is my first or second love, I don't really know and it doesn't really matter.

Hello dear ersmommy. We broke up with each other more than ten years ago and we have never kept in touch with each other ever since. It was an unpleasant experience in life in the end, though we had many happy moments as well. We had a very good beginning, but an unwanted ending to me because of the third party's "dragging" my ex from me. It only shows that she was not true to me though I was chased by her and finally fell in deep love with her, but got dumped. It is sad, huh? Anyway, like you said, I have also married my best love who is faithful to me and me as well. We are both very happy with our marriage. As to think about the ex, I think that it is hard to completely forget about what has already happened between all couples, as it is impossible to forget it, expecially when that is your ex. But I have to say that to think about it is one thing, to still keep in touch is another. I don't see any point on my side to have the necessity to keep in touch with my ex. Thanks very much for your discussion.

No not at all. I met my first love when I was 14, we went out together for about 3-4 years and then were seperated because I had to move back to the United States. We didn't talk again until I was 30 and within a year or two ended up getting married. It didn't last long, too much had changed in that length of time that we were seperated. I am in touch with him from time to time, but not very often. He had my oldest son with him, but my son moved out from his home, so now we have less and less reasons to keep in touch.

I, too, married my best love. I no longer have contact with my first love, but he's a friend of my sister's husband, so I can still hear how he's doing, and vice versa, but we no longer talk to each other. I think about him sometimes, just wondering how he's doing, if he's happy. My first love was life-altering for both of us. If I had things to do over again, I'd change it. I wouldn't do the things that caused our split (on my part), I wouldn't be so overbearing and bossy. We wouldn't be together now anyway, but it could have been sweeter than it was. But now that I think about it, it's my husband that's taught me all these things, put up with me and my weirdness, supported me through everything (emotionally and financially), and been my best friend over all. He even taught me how to make coffee!

I am still in contact with my first love, only because he is the father of my eldest daugther who is now 12 years old. I was with my first love from 13 years of age till 20 years of age. It took me about 5 years to get over him. It was tough I think since I was with him at such a young age, then got pregnant at 16 years. We went through alot together. I am now 29 years old, I do not think of him really anymore apart from seeing him fortnightly so my daughter can visit him.

It seemed that about once a year after my first love and I broke up he would show up in my life again. (after he left the school we both attended for awhile). He ended up applying for the same job I was at. And It was so awkard I didn't know what to do. I said, "what are you doing here?" He said, "Doing the same thing you are doing." Then I didn't see him at work after that. Before this time I had worked at Mc Donald's and I ran into him and one of his girlfriends. A redhead, very pretty. They had a kid. Then the following day he called me at work and asked me to dinner. This was about four years after we broke up. I told him I gotta go. I couldn't believe it four years later he still felt this way. But I was so pissed off that he had a girlfriend and why was he calling me. For all I know they could have been married. Okay, so that was at least when I did still have good morals.

I didn't hear from him when I broke with my first boyfriend.I swore to myself that I would never want to see him in my life.I thought I wouldn't be able to take care of it like nothing had happened.But I still think about him after 5 years passed.Sometimes I wonder where he is ,how is he doing.Sometimes I even had a dream about him.In my dreams We were still in high school but didn't talk to each other.There is part of me want to see him,another part of me don't .I know we can never go back even one day we meet each other by chance.He broke my heart terribly,maybe we are too young that time.

My first love was while I was in high school, and it took a lot of getting over. I'm in University now and I haven't been in a relationship in which I felt the same way as I did with that guy. I still keep in touch with him now, I would consider him a close friend that I could talk to anything about. I don't think about him as my first love at all now, or haven't done since this topic came up!
