To wonder if you ever get a chance again at that first love

[Italianmamami]

So that teenage love we all had. It makes me wonder if anyone has ever bumped into that person years later and then got with them again. I have that type of feelings left over for someone I got with as a teenager, we weren’t the best together but I was a teenager and I also had an abortion (I was young and had no idea how I would cope) I totally regret it and it’s been something I’ve carried with me since. He didn’t want me to do it and punished me for it because I think I hurt him by doing it and not saying: I just wondered do those feelings ever go away even when you both move on and have families and then end up single or is it one of those that would only work if it happened at the time.

My great aunt did, apparently. Teenage sweethearts went in different directions when WW2 happened, then met again when both were widowed many decades later. They had a few years of happiness together (some difficulties with concerned grown-up children on both sides) before she developed dementia, and he cared for her as long as he could. So, not quite happily ever after, but as close as...

Yes, I think so. I inadvertently encountered my first boyfriend in the street. Totally unplanned as we live in different countries now. It was like we had never been apart. We were together only for 18 months about 30 years ago and had not had any contact for about 29 years! Our interaction was full of love and warmth in a way I would not have expected. We are both in relationships and there is no way anything would happen but the love was definitely there and maybe if we weren’t in relationships we would do a better job of being together next time round (we both made mistakes which we regret).

Yes my friend did
They both went off and married other ppl then got back together decades later and are getting married soon

There is quite a lot written about people reconnecting with their first loves.
Easily found on the internet.
I reconnected with my first love. We didn’t go off into the sunset but we saw each other as and when for some years.
For both of us there was unfinished business from our teenage relationship.
