Today I had re-connected with my high school history teacher. He was really one of the best teachers I have ever had and I was extremely excited to find him on FB.
We got to have a conversation about what we have been doing for the past 14 years of our lives and he told me this very interesting story. In a nutshell, he lives on the other part of the world now. Years ago, he was in a relationship with the woman that broke his heart. Due to this heartbreak, he ended up traveling the world and settling in the 3rd world country. He is very happy with the way things turned out and loves his life, however, he said that he will ALWAYS love that woman who broke his heart. He is still friends with her and he doesn't hold grudges and he said that his love for her is like landscape, will always be there. Even when he falls in love with someone else, she will have a part of his heart.
It got me thinking. I don't have that type of person from my past. All my previous relationships just weren't deep enough for me to hold that love. I have warm feelings towards most of my exs, but no everlasting love. I suppose that if my husband and I separated, I would have that love for him.
Can you relate to my history teacher? Do you have that type of person in your life that you will always continue loving even if you are not together?
Met my wife in 1993, lived together a couple of yeears and she broke my heart end of the year 1994. We remained friends and spoke every year or so. We reconnected in 2000 and married on new years day 2001

So I gather that all those years you were still in love with her and she was that one person who had your heart.
I think it's the romantic in me that finds this incredibly beautiful and yet incredibly sad. Knowing that you have that one person that you love but she or he is so far away and you know that it's not in your cards to be together. Or maybe I'm just a sap.
Every relationship that has ended I've completely put out of my mind and they are no longer associated with me.
I'm pretty much the same way. Once it's over, it's over. I still keep in touch with those guys, but nothing is left there romantically. I guess none of them were significant enough for me to hold on to.

I don't even associate with them anymore.
I might have done it with my last relationship, but since she with held the fact that she cheated on me for one year pretty much ruined that chance for her.
My high school GF, she basically broke my heart..... It took a couple yrs to get over her.
She changed me in a lot of ways.... I didn't realize it til just a few yrs ago.... This was 22 yrs ago mind you.
She caused me to hold back a little piece of myself with every subsequent woman, nothing major... just I notice it now, I didn't realize it then.
She contacted me a few months ago on FB, and you know what.... I realize that I'm 100 percent over her... which I should be.. its been 22 damn yrs....
So no... to answer your question I don't have someone that I pine for.. or someone that is the "one", I have Mrs. Chow right now.... IDK, maybe she's the "one" that I pine for.
Except, I don't want us to break up for me to find that out.
I've only ever really been in love with one girl, and still am. She broke up with me three years ago, still haven't forgotten about her, even after going out with around 30 girls since then. When we first met, I didn't really think she was that attractive (she's certainly not ugly, but not the prettiest girl I've ever dated, either), but literally after a couple hours of talking to her I knew I was in love. I completely f'd up that relationship in all ways, did everything wrong, and regret every mistake I made at least once a week.
It would be incredibly comical if it wasn't ridiculously pathetic.

Yes, that type of hurt is difficult to get over.
