...I mean to a time in your life which was particularly happy and you were truly in love, when would it be and why7
I don´t particularly subscribe to looking back, but some of us have experienced times in our lives which sadly may never be surpassed in terms of love. I´m convinced that my first true love and subsequent long marriage can never be equalled for the passion, amongst many other wonderful things in the relationship, which endured for many many years. Perhaps because we were very young, crazy in love, lots of things in common, and perhaps more importantly bore two great children, both of whom have done us proud, there is still an unbreakable bond, but the flipside of course is a lot to live up to for a potential partner.
Incidentally, I do not harbour any desires whatsoever to have any intimate relationship with my ex husband, nor he with me as far as I´m aware, although we are still friends.

Well, I've racked my brains for the last ten minutes and honestly can't remember a time when I was deliriously happy and madly in love But, when it does happen I'll be sure to remember to write about it in here

In reflecting back, my longest and most fulfilling time of being happy was when I took my spiritually much more seriously ... it had nothing to do with a man or any particular relationship. Perhaps its more about finding that inner peace. Love on the other hand, seems to have brought much more times of hurt and pain and sometimes moments of feeling complete. Perhaps it really wasn't love ........
That first love where we love without inhibitions, and at that point unconditionally....Parents called me stupid in love, and they were right...Of course, I did not admit it to them...Where u don't care what u do, just as long as u get to do it with them...When u drove down the street and was right up under each other, and could hardly make it home without groping each other....OMG and we were so broke, so pitifully broke, worked menial jobs through college and were lucky if we could afford a pizza at the end of the week...Sighhh Yea, like that is ever going to happen again.... 17 years later we cannot even stand to be in the same room together...GO FIGURE

I too have experienced personal fulfillment in finding inner peace as you say since learning to live alone for the first time in my life, but the hurt and pain you describe related to love I´ve not experienced to such degree so we are different in that respect.
My memories of love are mostly good, and despite the reasons for separating, they remain a good time in my life.
22 years of traveling the world with DRUMMER a man who is not able to be true to him self and never loved me!
Me being in a profession where I should have seen it, was blind becuase I liked the traveling part. we have 3 kids that I am taking care of. The Girls do not want to see him the boy is able to see him once a month if he is in Germany
I opend my eyes in LA and told him I do not want to spend one more day with him living a lie!
I am free and feel good I am not able to talk to him in a normal way because he still is not accepting that I am not living his life of lies any more.
