I already answered this one but I want the points. She may always have a special place in your heart.

Like any other relationship, as long as you're in love you'll stick together no matter the mileage separating you. My hubby was in England, I was in France, then he was in Malaysia and I was still in France - we did that for 3 years before moving in together, and after 10 years we are married. So it works!

two people can feel they are right for each other when they first meet, definately. i had it happen to me, five months ago. we were together for a couple of weeks and then i had to go back home... its been 4 months and i still havent even thought of having a relationship with anyone else. we talk every day, the feeling Is still the same. so the point is, it can last, for sure! :)

No there is not, poeple think they have found true love and then it fizzles, if it was true love it would never fade. Why do poeple stay together for 50+ years? Simple, its a comfort thing, think about it, if you were with the same person for 50 years would you all of a sudden want to have to start your life over? Nope, its easyier to just stay sometimes no matter how unhappy you are.

Good for you if you were loyal. It is better to find out this things early in a relationship that late on. Now you can move on to a real partner.\n\nThe way you feel is the way you feel. There is nothing wrong or right in it.

Just means he still cares about you and doesn't want you do feel bad about your relationship ending. Depends on how long you were together and what ages you are. Did he love you? If so, love never goes away it just changes form. I would say leave the option of friendship with no pressure open. If you are meant to be together again it will happen.  If it isn't meant to be don't try to push the issue. Or just pick up the phone and say "Do you still love me?"

I believe that if you truly love someone you will always love them the only change is the way you love them , if you have remained friends and kept in touch it may be a little hard , because you have gotten used to loving em as just a friend , however if you just run into em one day and start over it wont be if its meant to be . Everything happens for a reason so if the two of you are meant to be together you will . Trust me my first love and I have fallen in and out of love several times over the last 10 years I stopped stressing it when I realized that it will just happen if we are truly meant for eachother !!

u sure have many ppl after u dont u ? if the guy ur in love with comes back for u each time that means that he still loves u and u should stick with him. if he was never meant to be he would never come back. this is telling u something. u might have find ur true love.

love does not fade away. the feeling of being in love is the one that fades away, coz like any other feelings, being in-love will not be a constant feeling. meaning it may be gone today, but may come back tomorrow. What makes a relationship last is the COMMITMENT to love each other even if at times the feeling of being in love is replaced with anger or sadness, etc. it will come back if you will try to remember all the things you've gone thru and all the good and bad times you've shared.

No, I don't think you have to be in love to continue a relationship, but it's usually easier to keep a relationship steady and good if there is love involved. Relationships without total love and commitment are usually relationships held together by other things (perhaps kids, or a shared job, or something else), and those relationships are always a little harder to maintain. Along with that, sometimes relationships continue for a long time because the two people involved are just secure with each other and don't want to go 'fish in the ocean' for another person that might be better.\n6  years is a very very long time, though. That's really great that you've made it that long! Now try to ask yourself some questions: can you imagine what life will be like in another 6 years? Will you still be with him? How are your jobs/colleges going to interfere with your relationships? \nOne of the worse things you can do is end a relationship just because you think the other person miiiight want to break up. It's good that you have talked to him about your feelings. Try to talk with him more about this topic, and ask him if he still wants the same things out of life and his girlfriend/wife that he wanted 6 years ago when you first got together. \nAlso, take a look at yourself. You mentioned how your boyfriend feels that he can never please you the way you want him to. Could it be that you are being a little too demanding? Or are you looking for a fantasy boyfriend in your real-life boyfriend? Those are always good questions to consider, too.\nRemember, just because you've been together for six years doesn't mean you will be together forever, but nor does it mean that you have to end it now. Communication is the best way to go. Good luck!!!

truthfully your ex's never get over you entirely. in any relationship with a true connection there will always be something that reminds you of why you were together. even in bad breakups and relationships you never really get over it you just find something or someone else that lets it fade away but i know when im reminded by someone of when we were "together" my mind rambles on about them for a while.  you just can tell when they have gotten over you enough to feel comfortable around you without wanting or wandering why everything is the way it is now. hopefully you will remain friends. then you cant say you lost anything.

I was. It took some time to think it all through, find new things to do and concentrate on, and new chances for love to appear. But it passed and I feel that I am stronger for it.\nBig piece of advice: do not keep anything that reminds you of him. Let it all go. ALL of it. You can't hold on to a small part that was wonderful because it will keep you tied to him.

i think you need to have a heart 2 heart talk. lay you cards out and be open with him. just because you dont spend time together like you used to dose not mean it should be over. in relationships things change and the only way to keep the rship alive is to adapt to the change. maybe he thinks you are the one who is changing. you will never know if you dont find out. if you care about him you wont let him go. good luck

Yes! I believe that you can still love a person and not be in love with them anymore. I've been there and its hard, but its very possible.

If it has been a while and you've done some healing and your ready to move on, probably.  If it is right after the other relationship, then probably not, you are looking for a rebound which likely won't last very long, putting you back in the same situation.
