Do you ever think about your first love

I think nostalgia for my lost youth probably plays a big part. I'm just a sentimental old fool. I've been happily married for 40 odd years, but a little part of me thinks back to those carefree, child free, grandchildren free days when all I had to worry about was what I was wearing that night. How easy life was when we were young....saying that I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes, especially as he died recently, I discovered purely by chance and when I read his obituary it showed that the person I remember and fell for so heavily 50 years ago never lost those elements of his personality that I fell for and went on to lead a happy and fulfilled life. Finding out about his death has meant that like lemondrizzle I have moments of sadness when anything reminds me of him.

I married my second love and have been happily married a few years short of 50.

Wow Katyk!

Yes occasionally. We were from different social backgrounds. And I dont care what anyone else thinks, I think it does matter in most cases.

We still do see each other occasionally at dos. And it always feels a little bit awkward.

But it has got to the stage now where I even forget his name!

Yes, daily, she is 70 tomorrow.

Yes I do often. I would love to know what his life has been like. I finished with him because I wasn't ready at 18 to settle down and he wanted to do. He was 4 years older than me. His Mother wrote me a letter saying how cruel I was to break her son's heart and I feel sorry if that's what I did. I wish I could just speak to him and apologise. Can't find him on social media but I have found his address on 192.com.

Sometimes I have too, as I've been married to him for 41 yrs.
I do think about my first proper boyfriend, whom I thought at the time I loved. I belong to our local history page on FB and places we went and people we knew are often mentioned on there.

Yes I do and "reader I married him", we have been together for 53 years and married for 49 ☺

Yes, I do. Mainly because we were so happy, and so well suited.

But I decided I was too young to be so serious and broke up with him.

And it's not a particularly common name.

Well, my first love was when I was 16. I used to go to bed at night and ask God to 'please let me marry .. and I would say his name'. Well, I didn't marry him, but my DH has exactly the same name (christian name and surname). Strange but true

No. I loved him to distraction and he said he loved me, but he was a liar, a fantasist with criminal tendencies and married! He broke my heart and went back to his wife in Scotland! Some time after, he tried to get me to take him back, but by then I had met DH, who wanted to punch his lites out. I wish I'd let him!

Occasionally wonder what would of been had he not been a manager destined for great things and I was a junior who stupidly got herself pregnant by my future husband just as he (manager) told me how he felt. We went our separate ways of course but I do wonder how his life turned out and how differently mine would of been. Of course I now wouldn't have it any other way and my life turned out to be a good one, just different.

Met him at 19 and the rest is history
Married for 35 yrs in october.
Now the first chap I fancied is a different story.
He looked like a pop poster on my bedroom wall. Just a coincidence of course

Yes, still see him from time to time via meet ups with mutual friends. He's still a nice bloke if a bit of a pompous old gent. I was heartbroken when he dumped me but then I met the next great love of my life.... and reader, I married him. ❤

Yes recently , when I learned he had died I did start thinking about him

Still in touch with mine. We haven't met for more than thirty years but always write each other a letter at Christmas with all our news. I first met him on the day we started school in 1959.

Yep - but then I did marry mine and can see what he looks like at 62
