Have you ever felt like it was true love, but it was quite the opposite?

I was in love with this guy for so many years. He had my heart and it seemed like he would always have it. I was the one that was always there for him. Always bringing him back up when he needed me, but where was he for me? We ended up being an item, but it didn't work out as he turned into someone I didn't recognise any more. His reputation took over him I suppose. I'm now with the man of my dreams. But I can't help to feel that those years and special moments I wasted on that jerk, I could've spent or experienced with my Man I'm currently with. What a waste of so many years!!

Do you think he became a different person. Or reality set in when you became more involved with him. I know my first love was more for what I thought the person was, he looked the part but his heart wasnt good. I was too blind to see it until I got over the infatuation.

He did become a different person, because I was best friends with his cousin, and she said herself he is just so different from how he was back then. His friends also agreed with him too. I don't think it was because I got more involved with him.

I think we all have to go through the crap relationships so that when we have something good we appreciate it more. My first relationship I was so in love. He dragged my heart through the dirt and was sleeping with someone else before we even broke up. Of course the worse part of this is that I didn't find out that he'd slept with her until years later. And at that point I was feeling like I'd made a big mistake by not trusting him. He played me for a fool and it's easy to turn that love into hate. But had I not run the gammut of emotions in that relationship, I wouldn't have realized how great my relationship is with my now husband. So I don't think it was a waste, just a very hard lesson.

I do agree with you. Past relationships, do let you learn from your mistakes and you do tend to see who the greater men out there. For example, your husband =)

There are many frogs out there disguised as Princes. You finally found your prince. I have kissed so many frogs its hard to count anymore. I thought i had my prince once but like yours did, he turned out to be a frog in disguise. So I will continue waiting. Maybe someday i will be as lucky as you.

yeah .. in my first boyfriend... that time was for trial ,just like a game has. and that I only try to let his love to me cause simply I want to try and know what could be the feeling to be in love. and expecting that he could be a right guy for me.. but I was wrong and thing gone by and I realize that I don't have feelings for him, and the day of our 2nd monthsary he called me in our phone and asking for a date to celebrate our 2nd month in the relationship and that time I also said the truth and broke up with him...
