My first love was not succesful. I and my girlfriend be together 6 months. We was so happy, but my girlfriend was gone to my best friend. I was crying so much. How she can do that? I lost my first love, but I don,t lost the best my best friend. He is my friend now 6 years. And my girlfriend has gone from him too. He and she be together only 3 months. She want go back to me, but I said I don't want it!

no, the first love was sooo not successful. it was the father of my son and he was very physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritual abusive. i left when i tried to hurt my son. when it was just me, that was one thing. i was out when i came to my little boy....and no, i never ever went back. i never will. i am not in a more healthier relationship that has allowed me to grow and be nurtured. vice versa.

At least you are still good friends kitty42! I lost contact with my first love and I think I would definitely feel awkward if I bump into him in some places... I also missed those old long talks we had before. Oh well, it is very different now... I don't think we still have connection even not as before...

No my first true love did not end up in a successful way. Even though we were together for five years, things happened that showed me his true self, and it was not good.

Yeah except he hid a lot from me, and was dishonest. I couldn't trust him anymore.

My first love came in grade school, so of course it was not a successful one.

I was married to my first love for 8 years.. didn't work out for many reasons.. But I guess one of the main reason underneath everything would have to be life experience.. We got married very young, he was 19 and I was 17.. Over the years we thought our relationship was strong.. The best way to put it is that we were both still growing up, there were a lot of things that we did not know about in life, how a relationship is suppose to work.. etc In the last year or so of our marriage we really grew apart... there was a gap there for the most part, but over time it grew instead of getting smaller... I guess its like all things in life, usually we fail the first time, try to learn from the experience and do better.. Some have found their love, and some are still looking and working on it..
Will I ever forget him?? No.. Our past is already written, these experiences we use to make the future better.. It would be like taking a book and ripping the first part of the book and then try to read the book without it.. The book would not make any sense.. Accepting that what happen in the past is the past, and it can not be changed or replaced.. This can be hard to do, but in order to truly move on this has to happen first.. Yes I am still in love with the man I married, but I am not in love with the man he became... This is how I deal with the love that is still in my heart for this man..
I have a new man in my life, we have been together for two years next month.. He has had more experiences with relationships then I have.. He shares somethings that happened in previous relationships.. I use to have a real problem with it.. Just never told him about it...Until one day I realized I do the same thing.. No relationship is completely bad, I say this because of my own experience.. There are good times in that part of my history... Having the ability to share those things in my new relationship helps make it more complete.. Things that didnt work, we do not do.. some of the things that worked before some we do the same, and some things just are not possible because we cant replace the one we lost... hope that make sense... Dwelling on the have nots doesnt work... Using past relationships as a guide for your new love what to dos, and what not to do... is the best way I think to handle it.. but each person handles lost differently..Good luck

I first though mine is sometime when I was 14..since it didn't even considered as in a relationship, so the 2nd one which way back when I was 22 I meet my 1st love..actually she was my ex classmate from secondary school...and after 6 years we meet again, and everything starts from there...
for some personal issues and disapproval from her parents..we had to call it off despite still deeply in love with each other..it was the happiest moment I ever have...and I still remember her until now-in a good way that is..its been almost 6 years now, and she's married..meet her several times-accidentally..alas, she seems avoiding me :(
and FYI, the 1st girl or the one when I'm 14...we are best buddy now...and I hope I can have that kind of relationship with my 1st love..

Nope we don't end up together, and there was never been "us" really. Though I know in my heart that something was really going on between us those times... Our feelings for each other are more than "friendship"... I was too young then, but not that young -- 4th year high school... I guess I didn't know how to answer some questions and I was always trying to divert our topic when being trapped and ask about our real status...
I have to admit that was my foolishness... I really love the guy; we spent more than 8 hours straight talking on the phone... And I felt that I can talk about anything with him... Even the most boring topic I enjoyed... Oh well, those are just memories... We both have our lives now... He is happily married and I am married too...
I guess, there are just things that aren't really fitted to happen... It is just too good to reminish on it... I am not in love with the guy anymore I just cannot forget the special memories I have with him...

I first fall in love when I was 17 and It wasn't successful, but somehow I had a great time,experience with him, I learned many things from him, we broke up after 7 months. I still remember him until now, I wonder where he is right now.

No, we part ways after 3 months due to some environmental factors. I was too young then and I can not decide for my self, so I just followed what the others said. When I get little matured, I realized that I should have fight for our relationship. Maybe, we had come a long way. Well, that's life, you'll only know its worth when it's no longer there.

My first love was not successful by any means, he was verbally abusive, and he messed up my self esteem, I think it also contributed that I was very young and inexpert, and I was really more focus in college than in my relationship so I couldn't see the red flags coming, but one day I decided to leave him because of this. After that I cut all ties with him and not even today I want to know anything from him. Right now I am engaged with a wonderful man, and previous experiences teach me to choose better my partners.

no, but she was always on my mind, remember clearly the first time i saw her, she has two dimples when she smiles, i was 13 at that time, never thought we would fall apart, some first love can be a successful one, but most of them didn't

my first love was not successful in a way that it last for only three weeks. That was when i finish my std-10. Thats 14 years ago ehm... at first she proposed to me and i didnot answer because at that time i want to concentrate on studying. And after exam i approach her and then we are in a relationship. Just after one week i realize that i love her and told her straight to her face. But after another 2 weeks i know she was having an affair with some other guy. You guys know how i felt at that time. But as time moves on god gave me lovely wife and beautiful little daughter.

i guess no coz were too young that time and we both study so we decided to parted ways in favor of our studies. though told me that theres no need to break up since he might can help me, but maybe i was just scared that time. if i can bring back the hands of time then maybe i will choose him but his married already.

hi my friend! no, it wasn't successful, because we broke up several months after we was a couple. i really don't know what the reason was about it, but i think our characters haven't matched and there are too many differences between me and my girlfriend. but I am really not sorry because after her I met a new girl, who i loved more, but we also broke up, this time because she didn't loved me enough!

my first love was not successful. though its the sweetest story i have, its the most traumatic too. i gave up my family and wealth for that person but sadly that person chose to break my heart. i give that person everything. it took me 1 year to recover and move on. i lost my friends, my family, I LOST MY MIND haha.. completely. its like im self destructing everyday after our break up. :( now im happy with someone who is more deserving than that person hahaha
