Even though you are now married or having another relationship, can you still remember the firs time your heart beat, your first kiss or your first boyfriend. Can't you forgive yourself for letting go of this person? Have you forgotten the past behind you, or you still remember each moment that you spent with your first love and regretting that it has come to an end?

Thoughts of your first love always bring smiles on your face but when you get married, I think the best way to handle that is to start a new world with your spouse. With determination you can recreate all those wonderful moments again with you new love....chawww

Yeah,if you have got married or still have someone falling love with,I think you shouldn't do that frequently and speak what you thought in mind out,especially to the one you are loving.

Yes it is difficult to forget the first time you fell in love. Whatever you do you will remember the good times or the bad ones all the time. Still life must go on so don't let it affect you. Remember your love but move on. Give more importance to what you have and not what you lost.

sometimes I still remember it but with the passage of time I try to forget it because it already has the other spouse and it's unfair if you always remember the old let it be penglaman live alone and always keep the relationship going forward now until the end of Life

thinking of your first love is not a sin for me .it is just but natural for us to think those whom we have shared our love at one point in time. sin comes in once you start thinking lustful idea of your first love. that will be very unfair for your present partner.your body is present but your mind is away.

it is not a sin... and i admit that it isn't easy to forget...especially if those memories means a lot to you... but if you want to move on..remembering will not help a bit..it will only make the wound bleed over and over again...it takes time to heal.. just divert yourself... avoid the things and places that reminds you of the past...=)

Good and romantic memories are always left in our mind,and I think it shouldn't be cursed.There is nothing wrong with it because it is human's nature.There is no sin for you to remind your previous romance occasionally,but meanwhile,it is not right to do it frequently when you are just falling love with others.

Hi czanwell,
I was fine with your discussion until I read the last line. I am a little disturbed by the last line. You are now married to a guy that you are suppose to be committed to, but you are brain frozen on your first love? What are you thinking? Where is your first love? perhaps he has moved on with his life,as you should. Do you ever think that this is unfair to your husband? Even if you would never actually act on those feelings they are still there between you and your husband.
There is not way that we can cut our part of our brains in oder not to have any past memories, good or bad. I don't think any of us forget our childhood or first love or any significant part of our lives. While that is true, it is also true that we must put the past in the past and live in the present.
I don't know how long it has been since you and your first love separated and you got married, but you must have had time to decide if you loved your husband enough to marry him. I am sure you love him to a degree, it seems. You will not be able to say that you love him completely until you stop thinking and regretting (making your husband second prize)breaking up with your first love.

First of all , make sure it was love not infatuation. Speaking of sin, according to mostly religions falling in love with the person you're not married to is a sin itself.
But I still believe if you are with somebody else now. And you still cannot forget your first love, then it is like letting somebody else, who was part of your past life, interfere into your current life and take the rights of your current life partner, which is the meanest thing ever.

So far i do feel little sad and guitly about my first second and third relationship which did not end well.Some are my faults i guess. But those days the environment and situation forced my hands and any how , it is the females part who decide to break in the first place.Thinking about it sometime my heart need to be tough when the things goes tough and harsh decision have to be made.

things happens for a reason and everything s random in this world. we might think of them and the memory leaves but things aren't the same. when you let go long time ago you made that choices already so what is the point of hitting fire when you already know that love is just before and long gone we regret yes maybe but the truth always sets you free you remember but wound heals and forgiveness follow when you learned to let go and accept the fact that its gone and you love the new one.

From my part i dont regret of letting go my first love but the first love unforgettable, its not that i think of him or want to see him but the only thing is that he was the first and thg i would have last forever specially for a girl who always dream of a prince charming or really treasure every moment of the time spent with the one she loves and keep every memory so its very difficult...
For guys i dont really know how they feel after a break up but for sure they can easily date another person in few days, weeks but a girl will surely take years...

Nobody would forget your first love. It is just that if you already broke up, the memories will still remain but the feelings you have for that person will already be different. You might try not to think of that person ever again but the not the first time you experienced to experience a that kind of love you had before. It is not wrong to forget your first love but then you should already moved on especially if you are in a relationship with somebody else. It would be really unfair if you still have feelings for that certain person you experienced love for the first time because it should be the present one your mind should be focused.

Hi Czanwell,I don't think its a crime that you can't forget your first love.Everybody still think about their first love,it still lingers around you somewhere even when you are gone ahead leaving those memories back behind.so no need to worry...

I believe that if one still thinks how good it has been, or what might have been with their first loves, they are being unfair to themselves and with their current flame. It is not a sin to still think of your first love, but continuously doing so isn't right either. If the feeling is still there, I guess you should first resolve it by talking to that ex. Who knows, maybe it isn't really longing for your first love that you are feeling, but only only an unresolved issue that needs to be talked about for you to have a formal closure and eventually let go of all the remnants of whatever feeling you might still have for him...

Everybody remember their first love and i think its not sin if somebody remember of their first love. But at the same they should also remember that now they are married and they recall those moments have n give a silent smile but it shouldn't that they just cant forger.
