I think that the "Do it for the other person" has deeper implications ...
Meaning that the person is lying to themself and hiding in/behind the relationship.
I guess it's "True Love" versus "Settling" kind of thing.

You’ll hate yourself for this. Maybe one day they won’t **** you off. You’re not over this person because you can still remember the little details. It feels good knowing that you could ever love someone so much. Or that’s what you tell yourself anyway. It doesn’t matter if something is true or not. The things we tell ourselves can become our truth. And that is what matters in the end. And someone very close to me once told me “LOVE NEVER FADES”. This is what I believe. Sometimes they just do it for the other person.
Awe. When one chapter is closed, another begins. We may never forget people from our past, but we never give the future or the here & now a chance if we are stuck too hard in the past.

This is so true! I once thought I couldn't never have fallen in love again after being with someone I considered the perfect match for me. We're just in each other's life at not the perfect time. It took me a long time to totally moved on, but I got over him. I still have fond memories of him sometimes, only because he's the most honest and the nicest man I've ever met. We're like best friends too.

The only one who comes close to that was when I was 8 years old. Somewhere in the back of my mind I never got over her.

Then one day, I saw a picture of him on his sister's Facebook page, and *boom* like that I was healed.
That is really interesting. Why do you think the picture had this effect?

The first guy I loved. the one right before my husband. I met him when I was 14. He was my boyfriend for about a year after which I met my now husband, I married at 16. But I never got over that first boyfriend.

about a month or so ago I found out that the boyfriend died about 5 years ago. It hit me very hard.
Even though I have been married for 50 years I still held feelings for that boyfriend.

My mother died when I was 9. I don’t think about her often but at key moments in life (college graduation, wedding, birth of my daughters) I do find myself wishing she was here.

Although if my mother did not die there is 100% certainty I would never have met my wife so life has a way of coming full circle.

Someone I have mentioned here several times. He was someone I crushed on HEAVILY, because my mind built him up to be something he may/may not have been. Due to circumstances we were never able to see where it could go or see one another. I've never been able to truly shake it. He's haunted my thoughts every now and then, even years after our last communication. I even left social media because of it. He's moved on with someone else completely, which is understandable. I've moved on in a sense that I'm not in bed crying, I'm doing what I need to do to take care of myself, and I'm bettering myself. But because there was never really any formal "closure" to the situation, "what if?" will probably always linger in the back of my mind. I've just learned to live with it, as it will probably be apart of me for a long time, if not the rest of my life.

Hmmm. I wondered about you at times.

You seem to be a sweet person. I thought maybe there was a back story of someone.

Glad to see you have used your singleness to better yourself.

Your posts on here always seem spot on in many ways.
