1) Did you change your mind? Or do you see him happy with someone else and want to keep yourself in the mix?

2) I'm sure Sarah would love to know you consider her second choice and stay with her out of a sense of obligation.



1. I didn't so much change my mind. I had an opportunity to do something I really wanted to do and earn a LOT of money for. But it involved a lot of traveling. My ex has family commitments which meant he couldn't come with me. I never stopped loving him. And he actually encouraged me to go because he knew if I was successful in what I was trying to do I'd be set for life. While I was gone, he start seeing someone else. So did I. 2. Sarah knows the deal. She knows I'm with her because there is no man who could take my ex's place. I do love Sarah but he was the first and he'll always be special to me. I've come to accept that I'll never be with him again, and I'm happy to see that his girlfriend makes him happy. But at the same time, I'll never be truly over him.


As long as you think like that, you never will be.

NinaB speaks the truth! NO CONTACT! You need time to find yourself and know what your likes are withOUT him.



Otherwise, you will never move on. He is a cancer to you now... toxic, suffocating, you already spent too much time with him.

You don't know how to let go or refuse to let go, I say it's the latter.



I'd say both, if I'm being honest... I'm not saying I definitely want to get back together. Don't get me wrong, if he told me he wanted me back. I'd probably go back to him. But, I'm happy he's happy. I like his girlfriend. She's very nice. I'm really happy with Sarah. I think we could have a great future together. What I'm saying is, I do still have feelings for him. He was my first love, after all. So he's special to me in a way nobody could match. Not even Kazzy88, razz
We still get along great so cutting off all contact isn't really a viable option. Besides, I don't think that would really make me forget him.
I suppose I'll just continue on with how things are going. It's not ideal but I'm in a loving relationship (with a girl, my mother is probably spinning in her grave), I have my baby girl and Christmas is coming so it could be a whole lot worse.
I would actually like to thank everyone who replied to my original post. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and give me advice. X

That really pisses me off. I don't so much care about you posting your bullshit on my other thread. That incident was more funny than anything else. But this here is something that is very important to me and what you're doing (claiming I am in some way trying to trick people) could be seen as bullying, which is completely unacceptable and even more so from a moderator. Plus, if you have any doubts as to the validity of my account, then send me an orgnote with any questions/suspicious you have. Like I did with you. That way these situations can be avoided. I'm not having a go at you personally, this is a very serious subject for me and I don't appreciate you making light of it.

Are you happily in love with your current lover? Then eventually you should be able to get over him...I know it's eaiser said than done but if you don't try and make yourself get over him now you'll never get over him for the rest of your life and I'm sure you don't want that...Maybe it'd be helfup if you kept your distance from him. Not because your current lover has a tattoo of your name but because you don't want to dwell in the past and be truly happy of what you have now =( Good luck..

No contact also means Unfollow on social media, until you can get used to not thinking about him. You're right, it might take a lifetime!

He's not on social media at all and I barely use it. I have a facebook account but I very rarely use it. Oh, and thanks for the "might take a lifetime" remark. I really needed that. razz

Well, what I meant is, don't get caught off guard when years down the line it takes an EFFORT to take your mind off of a relationship that occurred during a formative part of your life when your brain was pruning, forming its neuro pathways.

You know what, I changed my mind on this thing.


Why don't you meet up with him and tell him how you feel?

Give him time to think about it and meet up a few weeks later again.


See how you both feel about it. And if you both rather be with eachother, in stead of being with the person you are currently with, then so be it.

You can give it a try and start together again.

If he does not feel the same, you have your answer. And that will help you getting over him. If he says he just wants to stay friends, it will be easier for you to accept how things went, and you can give yourself to Sarah without reservations.


Why not open up to him and discuss how you feel about him? It can't harm your frienship, can it? I mean, if he is a good friend, you can work this out together, in stead of you on your own.


99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

I remember my first love. It was a very emotionally intense experience, especially through the teen years when our hormones are all over the place. Everything we did together, we did with a passion. I still think of him from time to time, wonder how he is, hope he is happy, etc. However, no matter how passionate those times were, I would not want to revisit the relationship, even at a later stage in my life. I am not the same person I was when I was in that relationship. He is not the same person he was while we were together. We have both grown, changed, had other life experiences that didn't involve each other which have helped to shape the people we have become today. It would be easy to look at him and see the boy he was back then, I'm sure, because that is where my memories of him are centered. It would be much more difficult to look at him and see the man he is today, because my memories of him, my perceptions of him are built upon the boy he used to be.

.

It is easy to reminensce about old loves and remember the good times, the fun times, the times they were there for us, and even the bad times. However, those times are past. It would be a grave mistake to remember those times and think "I can have those times back with him," because you can't. Those times are gone. He's changed. You've changed. Life marches on and it has marched on with the two of you not together in a relationship. This relationship he is in now is shaping who he is now and who he will become in the future. The relationship you are in now is shaping who you are now and who you will become in the future.

.

What I have explained to my oldest son is that each relationship we have experienced, that has passed away in time, has prepared us for the next relationship. We should grow from each relationship. Use that relationship (and the ending of that relationship) to understand what that relationship brought to us, shaped us, helped to define who we have become, but to know that once a relationship ends for good, it is impossible to ever get that exact relationship back again, because it will be different because you are different and she is different, and two different people in a relationship will shape an entirely new and different relationship.

.

So it is mistake to remember how it was and to think you want to get that back. You can't. You will never be able to. That relationship has come and gone and can never be experienced again.
