Some questions:

How common is it to marry your first love?

Do you ever stop loving your first love?

Do you ever stop missing the innocence of a first relationship?

Is it normal to keep thinking about your first love even after dating other people?


Any stories or personal anecdotes would be great.

It is pretty rare to marry your first love since that usually happens when you are a teenager, and well... teenagers grow up into different people.

You definitely stop loving your first love (unless you try real hard to hang on).

If the innocence led to your sufferring pain, then I think you don't miss it. Otherwise, you probably do.

It is normal to keep thinking about your first love because he/she provides a standard by which you will measure your next love relationship.



You sound normal. Just hang in there - it gets easier with time.

If you keep them at a distance in which there is still even the slightest form of contact, you will never stop loving them. It hurts, but shun them you must if you want to get over it.

And you will think about them in other relationships. If your new love does anything that reminds you of the 1st love, you will feel it, and it could help or hurt your relationship.

I think your capacity for love grows as you mature into an adult. Most of us have our first love when we're teenagers- emotionally limited. It's intense, yes, but not anything like what love can be as an adult. It's puppy love. It pales in comparison.

If it was a good relationship then it might be a good thing to keep it in memory. It can help your future relationships, again as long as it was a good one. If your relationship is leading towards marriage regardless of who it is, you need to sit down and talk with him/her about it. Discuss with each other how you see yourselves in upcoming years.

I find adult love to be lacking something...oh yea...love. Their love(at 24 I don't want to be one of those people) they consider love a contract and a co-operation of two people...it just way to retarded of an idea for me...but I guess I am a hopeless romantic...BRING ON THE PUPPY LOVE!

very uncommon. i thought i was going to marry my first love, but she got drunk with a bunch of guys and slept with them.

i'm still emotionally attached. i'm healing from it. i'm falling out of love.

my first relationship was only innocent for 2 months. the rest was all sex and foreplay. she never wanted to go out on dates or anything.

i'm not really sure. i haven't dated anybody else yet. i think she will come to mind a few times, but not like missing her or anything.

Naah, I got over my first love fairly easily.

But my second love broke my heart and it was MUCH harder.

But now I feel like I may have found my real love and it is sooooo much better than the rest!
