Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Alright.....I was just browsing this site, and I can't even count how many times I've seen threads on highschool sweethearts.... from "I'm married, but I still love my hs sweetheart!" to "I'm still not over my first love".....I just don't understand. And I'm not talking about people who have just recently broken up with their first love, but people who STILL pine for their first love after many years. Sure, I remember my first love, but there are definitely NO feelings on my part whatsoever. I mean, does it matter how you broke up? Because a lot of the people on here seem hung up on their first love when they didn't really have any closure when they went their separate ways. So, here's my question: Are you really over your first love/highschool sweetheart? If you broke up with your first love, have you found someone else who you love even more? Do you still think of your highschool sweetheart?
Audero Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I'm "over" my HS sweetheart. I still have some wonderful memories of him, and occasionally feel the bittersweet tug of the old days. But I don't miss him, in the sense I want him back now. We are 20 yrs out of school, and have led separate lives, became different people. I think I miss the innocence, of that time. Falling so deeply in love for the first time, before "life" happened. It was a simpler time, and I think that is what I miss more than him.

I married him...21 years now. 10 of those years I was cheated on..We are still together, but we have had to start to build a new "grown up" relatioship...starting with a brand new foundation. I would say that very rarely do high school romances last as long as our's, but it does happen...Problem is that you were so young when you met, that the changes that take place over the years are magnified 100 times compared to a couple who wait until they are independent and have experienced more of life...Hope this provides some insight..
