Discussion first love never die?

[puresoul]

is it possible to let your first love go? (◞‸◟)

i've been trying to forget about my first and yet only love, delete all the good and bad memories with him out of my mind, but it only gets worse (even tho i see my psychologist and discuss this with her). i've had a couple of "boyfriends" but i pushed them away cause they're not, well basically they're not him. it is so exhausting to live with the fact that i will never be able to go back in time and prevent mistakes that have led to what i have now.
tell me your heartbreak story if you want to :—-)

is it true that time heals?
thank you for your replies in advance

for me, it took a long time but it's possible.
they were someone i thought would be "the one" and well, our relationship didn't work out. I don't blame them or me really, we had our own issues and at that, was young. at times i still feel regret for how i may have acted and have burdened them with my feelings. i may not be fully "over" but things come and go. i wish them the best for whatever they chose.

i'm in a new relationship and it's going well so far! we're going to be 9 months on the 22nd and he's going to see me for our anniversary.

thanks for sharing
I'm really sorry you feel this way … I kind of understand this feeling
I don't know what led you to end this relationship and what made you split up… in my case, it was a major issue of timing I guess… I don't know… sometimes you met someone and your life is a mess… that was my case
Today I understand that if you love someone in a wealthy happy place, you stay whatever's happen. This thought gave me strength to start over again

For me? Time never healed my wounds. They may have closed up and scarred over, but a phantom pain lingers. Time just made it easier to tolerate.

For dramatic effect, it took place a quarter of a century ago.
