I’ve moved on but I always remember..

I was with a girl for a year. My first love, she meant everything to me. However she was moving away and we were growing apart, I knew it wasn’t going to last. Anyway she dumped me and it killed. I couldn’t get over it. Eventually it started getting better, I fell in love again and I’ve been with my currents girlfriend for a year and I truly am madly in love with her. However the passed few days I have been thinking about that girl. Is it normal? I don’t think I’m in love with her any more? What do you think, do you sometimes think about past loves. When I think of her I feel happy, I can’t remember the bad memories even though they are there. Is it normal?? Thanks

Yes, actually if you look at my post you will see exactly what i am going with i recently met up with my first love whom i had not seen in seven years and like you has a girlfriend, he let it all out how pained he was and everything that he had had gone through following our break up, like you we were both far from one another. Anyway this weekend i went to into town we saw one another and he told me i made him second guess his current relationship what if he worked on breaking up with her and transferred his job to my city, he didnt even go home that night and stayed up chatting with me, i got back into town and i called him since he asked me to call, up to today i have not heard from him and it breaks my heart i might not but i understand he has a life just like YOU have a life, we never truly forget our first loves.

Yes, it’s quite normal. You’ve had a lot of good memories with her, and these probably outweigh the bad ones that’s why. When you think of your first love, it’s normal to remember your pleasant moments with her instead of the bad times. It happens to me too :-) However, it does not always mean you still have feelings for her. Yes, you have moved on, but you will never forget the memories you’ve had with her.
