Is it Possible to Truly Love One Person and the Others are just Rebound?

I have been so curious because someone I know have been with a lot of girls but he keeps telling me about this girl who used to be his gf and that girl is the only one he truly loves. He is married and has children but he never seems to forget this girl because he said that girl is the only one he will really love and no one can replace her in his heart. Please may you enlighten me on this. What is your take on this? Thank you.

It is possible, but I also think it's a choice. For whatever reason, he refuses to let his past love go, and compares all the other women he meets to her, therefore blocking his opportunity to really see and understand those new individuals that come into his life.

I asked him why he doesn't want to let go of her, when he had been with many girls and now he has a wife. His answer was no matter how hard he try to love them, his heart will always be for that girl. Honestly, I do not know why but as a friend, I feel sad for him.

@mlgen1037 yeah, it does sound like he's a prisoner...but it's unfair to his wife too though, it's like he's half hearted in his current relationship, but truly his heart belongs to another

@mlgen1037 maybe he just needs closure from the past relationship...did she ever explain to him why she left?

Personally, I don't believe that anything is "meant to be." I have been around a good may years and had more than one relationship. I think of some of the others, yes, but the one I am in now is the best one ever.

Hi James. We meet people along the way and we determine the person we want to be with us. I am happy that you found the best one.

All I can say is that until now, I still feel warm inside everytime I think of the first man that I loved.. Mind you, he didn't even know that I had this huge crush on him.. Well, I was 13 and he was 16 .. I was so in love but only in my dreams .. lol ..

@mlgen1037 If I ended up with him, I reckon that I would have ended up with a dozen children .. lol .. In 2007, I bumped into him and OMG!.. he was still so macho.. .. but for some reasons, he's no longer that tall ..

He should not be feeling that way. He should love the one that he is married to.

I agree. But he seems not to get over his ex-gf. He said that he married his wife because he was forced to and not to bring shame to his wife's family.

@mohit459 Yeah. but he should have tried harder. Then he resorted to other girls and eventually got married. So the misunderstanding led to disaster.

The girl wanted her freedom so she broke up with the guy. And for reasons that I do not know why he didnt try to pursue her.

Hmmm... I think he is just obsessed with her. Why did they separate if she is the one he loves? Maybe she is his first love? A first love will always be a part of anyone's memory of course so maybe that's just what it is. He is a bad guy if he married but does not love his wife at all. Tsh.

@owstalaga Not got the girl pregnant but the girl stayed with him and I think in the province if the girl and guy are living together, they should get married or it will be shameful in the part of the girl. He said it was the girl's plan to stay with him and not leave him. Hahaha.. I like it really. A mixture of sarcasm and fun.

I'm probably not the best person to answer this because I never found my soulmate but I do know a woman who lost her husband and although she has met and lives with another man she says she is just biding her time before she meets her true love in the next life .. so maybe for some people this is so.

@mlgen1037 There are no children involved in this couple's life and she has been honest with him so he knows he is second best. I don't know if I could be with someone knowing that. You're right though, this person you know should move on with his life if he has a family and stop hankering after someone he will never have.

That is okay. I still appreciate the response. I never felt anything like that though because every guy I have been with, I loved them sincerely but I did not have that experience of loving that person for a long period of time even when I am with someone new. I really do not know what to tell my friend. But as morality dictates, he should love his wife and children and not the girl. But we cannot control other people's choices and feelings.

@sprite1950 my friend is willing to do everything to get the girl back and to be able to be with her. Even if I tell those things to him, he wouldnt listen. He just wants the girl back.

My opinion is that he should not be still loving his ex gf but it is not a crime if she still has a special place in his heart. I also remember some girls / women having a special place in my heart but I do not think about them all the time. They are like good friends forever and if I ever meet them again I will be smiling and be very happy I met them.

Hi Cristian. Us, his friends, told him about that but he insists that he will do everything to have the girl back. But you are right that the past should just stay in the past and if we see those people from our past, smile and be grateful.

It's not hard to be with one if both are trusting and respecting each other. He should forget about someone who he cannot possess. It's wrong in my way. But many people in this world doing this. I hope he should not have any problem if his wife will also do the same thing.

Hi Karan. From what he told, he said that it does not matter to him if his wife will do the same thing. He is even willing to file for separation if the other woman will have him back and tell him to leave the wife.

If the person still loves that girl, he shouldn't flirt with others. And, it's better to move on in life.

He only realized that he really loved the girl after the girl was gone but he still had other girlfriends to fill the void, which is ironic. But he said he does not want to move on until he gets the girl.

He must be an idiot for marrying some one he didn't really love. I mean why bother. He should just focus on his wife and get on with his life. He's selfish, I would tell him if i were there. She maybe some one he loved before but his heart should have focus on the present.

We can't choose who we fall in love with, but we can choose what we do about it. That man should either end his marriage to be with that girl, or concentrate on his marriage.

maybe his love for that woman is of a higher level than his wife. it may be a platonic love, or admiration is better to describe the emotions he feels.

One should admit the first love in everyone's life is a memory..it's hard to forget but some situations make them to go far away..if that situation arises they should forget and move on with present life..as this guy is married he should stick on with his wife and children only.. he should not remember the ex one.as past is past...the ex is only a memory

I guess that's not very good. He's married, but always tells another girl he says his true love is. I do not think it should be taken too much because it's not good and it does not really matter. And you have to advise him not to tell about the girl again. Keep and care for his current family, that's better.
