(3,405 posts)I dont reflect in some way on my 1st love every day anymore but it is several times a week 40 years later. Still have dreams at night at least once a week, the kind of dreams that leave an impact on my emotional mood most of the day.
We dated from the age of 15 until my 3rd year of college when we decided to date other people. Separate colleges 600 miles apart was our wedge. Wasnt fesable to visit each other more than once a quarter or on holidays. Letters took 3 to 4 days, and long distance phone calls could cost $100 an hour. I often reflect on how iPhones could have made things different.
Often dread on how I should have fought harder.
Truthfully this is the first that I have spoken of that relationship to anyone. You could likely get a good turnout for a first loves forum. Good to see that I am not the only one that has those feelings, have thought of it being unhealthy to have those feelings.
