Does anyone have a love they've never got over?

Does s add none else have a person they don't think they'll ever get over or is it just me? I periodically see him at events like weddings etc and every time my stomach just flips (in a good way). We dated on and off for 3 years back in our twenties and always remained friends and now both happily married with children. There's always an electricity when we meet at these events and he's then stuck in head for weeks after. To be clear I never intend to act on these feelings, I very much love DH and am well aware it would never work with this guy in a proper relationship but just wondered if anyone else has someone like they feel like their feeling will never really go. It's been 7 years since anything happened and I thought that would be enough time but I think I'll always hold a torch for him.

I think we often have a soft spot for people which can last years. But that’s all it is. We maybe fantasise about a life with them even, but reality is that we barely know them. I don’t think there is anything wrong with having a soft spot for people provided it’s not acted upon.

Yes very true, I just thought at the time eventually the feelings would pass as I married and had children

I dated a guy when I was about 18/19 for 2 years, he was everything to me but we were terrible together, I still think about him all the time but I am aware that I have romanticised the situation. We have both moved on, kids etc but both single currently, I often think about messaging him but I am a very different person 15 years on as I am sure he is

You have to remember the reasons why you broke up and all their bad points. Soon stops these thoughts

Yes I often think about my first boyfriend/ love.
I had never felt that way about anyone until my current partner. I truly loved him with all my heart. I do often think what would have happened between us if I had not of messed it up. I haven't seen him for over 10 years now but I still think of him now and then.
