I'm probably way out of line here, but it sounds like someone is hiding behind religion, rather than just manning up and saying his feelings changed or were never truly there to begin with.

With the stipulation that "lost" does not mean "get rid of."

Then yes, I agree.

I meant it for you. You can put it on your face as a disguise so you don't get leghumped.

By the way, I was only kidding. Learn how to laugh people.

I can't disagree more with this statement...

It's been a long time since me and her went our seperate ways but to this day I haven't met anyone who would even come close to making me feel the way she did....
When I was 23 I fell head over heels in love (how do I know?, because more than 20 years later I still love her). We had a great time while it lasted, but because of a myriad of things (immaturity, race, too many differences, nosy friends...) she dumped me (a girlfriend actually did the dumping). We met again about 5 years after her friend told me to stop calling; she apologized for a lot of things and asked if I'd be willing to try again. As painful as it was to say, no thank you, it would've probably killed me to go through "losing" her again.

Present day, I'm married to a great woman and have two glorious little angels. And my feelings for my wife admittedly are different than they were/are for "Girl1"; but I love my wife nonetheless. Strangely enough I think of "Girl1" frequently, I hope she's happy and healthy. But I go home to someone who loves me probably like I did/do "Girl1". I appreciate my wife, but love her differently. How whacked is that?

Suffice it to say, "Girl1" and I would've probably gotten divorced because of our differences and all of the outside influences gumming the works. But love truly is blind because, I was so hurt by our breakup that I cried for 3 weeks and ended up losing my job. But I still love her. And the point is that I learned from the pain, one thing I learned is that I can be happy in different ways, and love differently. To explain "love differently", I used to think of "Girl1" 24X7, it was obsessive/crazy love. I worry about my wife, hug her, kiss her, but I don't obsess over her.

This girl, who I had thought was the sweetest person in the world then went on to purposefully try to tear me apart as one day not long after the breakup she called me to tell me that she thought I had no personality, no sense of humor, that nobody liked me ect. The hardest part wasn't losing someone I loved more than anything, it was the total mindfuck of suddenly finding out the person you were in love with was a lot different than you thought and the shock that they would intentionally try to knife you as deep as they could. The point of saying all that is that although I was completely fucked up for a long time I have since dated other girls and I'm doing alright really. Single and looking forward to the future fully able to love again. And hey, I learned a lot.

This is one of my favorite quotes and I think its appropriate:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
I had an ex once tell me I had "no passion in life"... talk about a mindfuck. I spent the next few months trying to figure out wtf that meant. A simple, "I'm not feeling this relationship anymore" would have been good enough for me.

Despite that, I also feel that it is better to have loved and lost... even though it may give you headache now and then.

Who wrote the quote?

Human Nature?

Dear "Dark",

Maybe it's our nature to not permit that kind of emotion to happen again. Or maybe we really can only love that way once in a lifetime. At the time, I decided that I wasn't going to go through that type of emotional distress ever again. I really don't know if I've subconsciously hidden that part of me or if that part of my heart will always be "Girl1's".

But as you said, you will love again and it will most likely be for the best. This other person will love you and provide you with what "Guy1" probably couldn't or wouldn't.

Best wishes,

G

Interesting...
But, if you're now married to girl#2 and have 2 kids with her yet you say you still love girl#1 - the way I see it, if you actually fell in love with your wife when you met her, wouldn't that make you forget all about girl#1? I may be wrong here but it seems like you settled for your wife only because she seemed to be "the next best thing" compared to girl#1??

Sorry, but I'm not that shallow; and that doesn't give my wife the credit she deserves does it now? Re-read my original post and you see that I hold my wife in the highest esteem; the thread is about "love". The love of my life chose not to be with me, that is how they say LIFE. I don't believe that because I still have feelings for "Girl1" that it diminishes what I have with my wife in any way. The two relationships are different. If you read my second post to "DarK' you'll see that I ponder if my two relationships are different because of our nature. You, personally may not agree with my assessment of MY LOVES but that's you trying on my situation and not liking the fit. That makes you who you are, and obviously we're not the same person. My life is very good, so I must say that things worked out for the best. But truth be told, there was someone else who knocked me off of my feet and left an impression on me that will be with me until I die. Nothing more complicated than that.

Peace,

G

If you haven't been in love, I mean real love, then you haven't experienced the best thing life has to offer.

Does it hurt to have loved and lost? Of course, it does.

But what is life without risk? Boring and dull.
