text: what happens when your first true love and you break up. and a year later you are still not over him? i broke up with him for all the wrong reasons. and now. if i go out with another guy i feel like i am betraying him. lol. welcome to life. iam married and broke up with my first true love over 9 years ago, and i still think of him and compare things to him. theres something about your first love that never leaves you.  youre not betraying him. if he has moved on with his life and you havent then you should feel glad that he has made himself happy and you should do the same. or if youre able and he's free maybe you could try expressing all these things to him.   alot of the time in retrospect it seems like we broke up with our first loves for all the wrong reasons, but in actuality we're such infants in love at that stage that who we were then is not who we are now. the compatibility changes and the person we long for and miss so horribly doesnt exist any longer.  just keep looking, there is always true love waiting.
