Do you ever stop loving your first love?

My ex cheated on me with his ex and we broke up, nearly three years ago. It was difficult, but I sort of moved on. I met a guy, and we started dating. Our first year anniversary is next week, and I find myself still thinking of my ex, whom I texted last Christmas and he said he still thought of me.
He's still with the same girl he cheated me with. But I still think of him, maybe everyday. more since he told me he also thinks of me.
I love my boyfriend, but whenever we don't see each other I'm always back to dreaming about my ex. Even if it's been three years since I last saw him! I feel horrible, and hopeless that I will ever move on completely.

I know there are some questions like this, but I thought it would be nice to have someone to talk (:

    I lost my first love and my soulmate 3 years ago and I still think about her everyday and still cry over the loss. And there is a huge hole in my life that will never be full again. You will always remember your first love but you have to open your heart to love again.

  • Yes I think it is normal to think about all the good times you had with your ex. I've been married now for 30 years but still think of my first love and wonder what it would have been like if we had married. I moved away from the town I was born in but would love to somwhow find her again to see how things turned out with her. Yes I love my wife but this does not stop me thinking of her.

    • This sort of scares me. I don't wanna be thinking of my ex in 27 years
      sometimes i wish i could erase him from my memory
      it would be easier for sure.
      although if i could, i wouldnt do it
