how would you let go of someone you had first loved?

they say that first love never dies.. i know, how corny it may sound, but i do believe in this, do you? i had this first love of my life, and he just seems to be a part of my life from then on; even if we had separated a few years back, never see each other again, talked less and when we do, we always end up arguing because of past hurts... but it still feels the same, he seems to be having this special place in my heart. i have my own partner now, very supportive, and we have been together for a more years than i couldve imagined, but then, when this ex pops in the picture, i seem to forget everything in the present. what to do?

My feeling for my first love when down the crapper when he cheated, when I think of him I get angry! So perhaps you should remember what went wrong when you see him and remember why you broke up in the first place.

the problem is we never had the chance to talk and make things clear before we parted ways.. he just kinda disappeared with all the questions hanging unanswered. we had talked a few years back about this, and still the same thing, no questions were answered and he is still putting the blame on me for not giving him the chance to make things right. thanks for the answer! id try and think of the bad things to make things easier for me to go on.

ah that's terrible, leaving things unresolved. A guy like that ain't worth it!

I'm kind of dealing with the same thing right now. I know it sucks. My current boyfriend is amazing to me and the one that I was with before him treated me like crap, but I miss him. I'm sorry I don't really have an answer for you. Sometimes you just have to know what is right for yourself even though it might be hard to figure out. Good luck to you. Remember that either way, your happiness is what is really important.

the best thing to do, as what i have done, is find someone who can love you more than you can love him. i have that someone now who loves me more than i can imagine. well, our relationship was not perfect, we had our ups and downs, but we are still together for five years. the past is still there, like a skeleton in my closet who keeps on popping up unexpectedly, and sometimes, there are times i will miss him; but as what zavebe said, it is unfair for the one im with at present. it really takes time to heal creamywave. it took me a very long time to let go. good luck!
