Once you love someone there is always a place for them in your heart?

Question

Is it true that once you love a person you never stop loving them. That you always will have a special place for them in your heart. Love is such a great feeling you never forget who you felt that with.

Answer 1

i think its true. im only a sophmore in high school, and you might think that it was just puppy but i met this guy in the 6th grade and everything about him i loved. i eventually moved and i still think about him everyday. he will always be in m heart.

Answer 2

I think so. Just look at the numbers of people that are searching everyday online for a long lost love. When I was in high school there were 2 boys that I really fell for. One was my first boyfriend - you never forget your first love! He will always have a special place in my heart even though I haven't seen him or heard from him in years. And an even more special love was the boy I truly fell in love with when I was just 16. Our time together was brief but almost magical. He left because he said we were too young . I didn't know he'd gone to Vietnam shortly after that. It was a couple of years later that I saw him again, when he came back wanting another chance, but I was already involved with another, who I eventually married. But that young man will always have a very special place in my heart. If not for the war, he would've come back sooner & might have been my husband. He recently  emailed me, though we've now both been married to others for years. It was wonderful to know that I still held as special a place in his heart as he did in mine. It is possible to love & be faithful to your spouse while still holding a special place in your heart for someone you once loved. A heart only gets stronger the more it loves. It's just that the special place for a past love is a little different that the place you reserve only for your spouse.

Answer 3

It's true. I still remember my first but we split because I', 2500 miles away from my homestate.

Answer 4

I agree with that to an extent. It depends on how things end and the person you were in love with.  

Answer 5

Yes that is true.  There are times though when you need to move on from that person if the relationship is unhealthy.  Doesn't mean you never loved them, it just means that you know it won't work out.

Answer 6

It's true, with rare exceptions...  I still have feelings for most of my exes, but there were two really BAD relationships with guys that I don't have any kind of feelings for... It's almost like those guys were just blips on the radar of my life...  

Answer 7

I think  that you always remember them. Either fondly or with extreme bitterness!! If you truly love someone, you'll never forget them.  

Answer 8

Yes that is so very very true! I was very much in love with a woman we even were engaged to get married and she left me cause I was still young and immature. That devastated me! 17 years later with a wife and 2 boys I still think of her and my heart still loves her tremendously.

I feel (for me) there is an unfinished chapter in my life and if I do not write it I will be missing something forever!

Answer 9

yes.. it is true,...

its because you'll be spending most of your time with him.. that's why when the time that you will be separated, you'll be missing him and if he wants to settle back to you,..you would often think twice.....because....

He is always a place in your heart...

Answer 10

I disagree. My ex and I were married 20 years. In the last few years of the marriage, both of us knew the end was near. Starting with when I hired a lawyer, my ex's actions have turned any love I had for him into borderline hate. He has threatened me with everything imaginable, called me all kinds of names, and almost turned both of our kids against me. Any love I had for him has been long gone.

On the other hand, I still do feel something special in my heart for this one guy I loved. He broke my heart but he also taught me to enjoy life. He was more fun than anyone I'd known. It wasn't a match made in heaven, not by a long shot, but I still look back fondly on him.

Answer 11

Yes. For me anyway, so far. Even tho I've loved some more strongly than others, I still care about them in some way or another. My high school boyfriend... that girl in me that is still 16 still loves him, and still thinks about his red pick up truck coming down the road to pick me up.

Answer 12

Yes !

Answer 13

Well before I met my husband I did feel like that for someone but after I met my husband I stopped having that feeling and I only love my husband and I only love him. There is no one else in my heart other than my husband.

Answer 14

Maybe in Nicholas Sparks books/movies.  It is not this simple in real life...lots of situations and variables (not the least of is that sometimes you definition of love changes over time).

Answer 15

I use to believe it untill now! i was with my ex for 4 years and we had a child togeather. We are split up not and i will never forget how i felt for him but i will never love him again and there will never be a place in my heart for him. I think it just depends cuz before him i was with somone 3 years maybe a little longer and i do care for him like if something happend to him i would be dad but im not (in love) with him still i will never forget him tho and i would never hate him no matter what he did.
