the one and only true love of your life

Have you met and lost the one true love of your life ?

I don't think that there is one true love. I think there can be several true loves over the course of your lifetime, depending on where you are and what you're doing. You can love someone and think he's The One, but it's entirely possible to meet someone in the future and feel like he is The One. I think that's more likely than there being one right person for everyone.

No I see him every morning when I look in the mirror and know he'll be there forever.

Yeah, I've lost the one true love of my life, but I'm trying to get her back. I know we'll be back together at some point, I'm just not sure when. Until then I will be very patient as I wait for her to realize she can't live without me.

I agree with this 100 percent!!

I think it is all a matter of perspective. I know I thought I had lost my one true love. For ten years I mourned that relationships ending, and foolishly tended the flame I carried for him. I bounced through a number of relationships that were doomed because of the way I was still feeling about my lost love.

UNTIL.....I met my husband. THEN I learned what "true love" really is. It IS hard work. It is holding your hands (and head) while you are heaving your guts up with morning sickness. It is worrying about your recovery after your 5th CSection It is going grocery shopping (and having to put the junk food back cause he is as bad as the kids! with filling the cart), it is paying the bills together, it is shoveling the sidewalk when there is 12 inches of snow, it is cleaning the bathtub cause you hate to, it is trying to make all the hanger clothes share the closet, it is driving him to work when he is on pain med for a bad tooth , it is cheering as your son cross the goal line (finally), listening to terrible bass playing cause your husband has unfulfilled dreams about having a rock band so he bought everyone an electric guitar for Christmas....it is daily life, the good, the bad, the up, the down...

You get my idea. I lost 10 years to the mist of a dream, but I found a lifetime with reality once I opened my eyes and heart

Can't you tell I sure love my husband

God I hope he wasn't my one true love, because if that's "beautiful/turn you upside down/movie" love I think I'll just become a dog lady.

I met and lost someone that I THOUGHT was it, but I believe there is ONE person made for you to be with, your "true love" and so since he died, sadly I guess he wasn't it.

Sageofages, I totally agree with you. I broke up with someone who I thought was the love of my life, but I realized after two years that it would never work out. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make.

Five months later, after I forced myself to get back into dating again, I met my husband. That's when the light-bulb finally turned on. I feel exactly the same way you do! My husband's also a junk food fiend with unfulfilled dreams of being a rock star. We've seen each other at our absolute best and our very worst, and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Its the toughest job you'll ever love (sorry Peace Corps!) but it is so, so worth it.

OMG I asked this because i just ended a divorce recently and i think i married him to cover up the loss and hurt i had when my fiancee was killed in a hit and run accident few yrs earlier of the divorced marriage. and to me I think he was the true love of my life and i do agree you meet along the way someone who makes your heart feel all those things too. But i think youalways have that one reserved space for someone who open you up to that first and only feeling.


just pondering out loud when i came up with that question

I beleive in soul mates. I have not met mine yet (that I know of)

I tend to agree with valkyrie. Besides, believing that there's One True Love and all that stuff puts too much pressure on a person...I mean, what if you can't manage to sift through the 6 billion people on the planet and find him/her? Then what? Are you doomed to roam through life alone? Nah.

Believe it or not , me too. I've had two men in my life who were "the one" for me, in very, very different ways. I'm marrying the second. Practical matters got in the way of the first... but in retrospect, I'm glad they did. If they hadn't, I would never have developed a relationship with the current (and permanent) Mr. Ginger!

AXJules is my one true love; she just doesn't know it yet.

I thought Big Pun was the only true love of your life and you cried your eyes out when he passed away.
