So,,there is a lot of us here that were married or had a relationship that for reasons didn't work out. But my question is, after all the dust settles, did you really Love them? I did. I really did Love my two wives that married me. Even though I will probably never see or hear from them again in my life,,,I still hope that they have a long and happy life. Some things disappear and leave us but I have a good memory and I know how I felt. So, anyone else? or do the rest of the people here just wish they never met their past "Loves"???

hi niko-B,
no regrets..but no, i didn't love my ex husband. nor did i pretend to while married. so it was already clear before the dust settled.
i'm not entirely heartless...lol. i did care, and a lot. but i wouldn't go so far as to say i loved him. i don't wish him anything now, rarely think of him. but i don't think i've ever really been in love with a partner. still hoping it happens...one day....(grin)

Thanks for posting "Lovelylass" hope I got that right. KB you're a sweetheart, thanks for the hug . Jono, I hope you have that feeling one day, I guess I just have to believe you will, but I can only say that you will know when you feel it, I will say that I pray that when and if you do that you enjoy every moment of it. I know that if I had those memories and that feeling taken away I would lose a part of myself that is very special.

Cheers all. make it a good one.

I prefer to focus on the good things, the happy memories. I did and saw many things I otherwise would not have. Some of these exepriences I treasure...So in the end, there is some kind of balance.

I would never wish ill on the man I have loved.

thanks for the very sincere post, and sorry about the other "riff raff" that seemed to slip by.
Have a nice evening one and all.

Yes, I did love them sincerely. They didn't love me, that's why we are not together now. I wish them good lives, too. And, as you said, we would probably not meet anymore, but it is not because I want it so. I think that we could be very good friends now, not lovers, but friends. Only, they don't want it. I can't force them, though. It is their choice.

Does it really matter ??? Was I cheated on, or was I cheating on them, who took whom for a ride ,was there really love or something else ...as your headline goes...It`s over.

I wouldn't exchange my memory, good and bad times with my ex-husband for anything. I loved him dearly although, the same like you, I don't have any single contact since ages. That experience has taught me a lot about life in general and man in particular.

"Marry in haste repent at your leisure"

That was me, looking back I was infatuated with him, didnt actually know him well enough to love him when we married. Sadly when I did get to know him I learned he was a cruel, bitter man who was capable of causing more hurt, both physical and emotional than I could have ever imagined.

My overiding emotion when he died was relief.

I'm sure most thought they loved the person they were marrying but soon found out being IN LOVE is a whole other ballgame..JMO. We all tend to look back & have the what if's but hindsight is not always 20/20. I was young & fell into that syndrome but tried to use it to my advantage for the future & then again another lesson to be learned-NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE. wine

This could have been written by my ex wife. Her feeling this way is why I divorced her. Honestly I did love her but now? Nothing, rarely think of her.
Even love of a partner can die if it is not returned.

i'm so glad you posted. and i hope you come back and see this. i would like to know your thoughts.

but here's my question for you, and where i am confused...
"even love of a partner can die if it is not returned"

because when i love someone, and i have (just not a partner), my love for them is independent of what they give me back. i can love them up close, or from a distance, or never see them again...but i still love them.
for me...love is about how i feel, what i give...it has never been about what someone can give me, or as you have said, return to me.

if you see this, could you please explain your first post a bit more. thank you
