| It depends on why it ended for me. If it ended badly I can forget and move on. If it ended bc of circumstances I often think of them wistfully. |

| My answer is no, except I am wondering exactly what you mean by “forget.” You can think of them fondly but no longer love or want to be with them. |

Depends on the person and situation. I think we choose to forget some people.
I didn’t want to be apart from some but I’ll never forget the ones I loved and hold dear. |

Same. I was in a seven year relationship that ended badly (otherwise was a good relationship, I was just unsure about marriage and then he turned on me in a horrible way). I don’t think about him much, if at all and I feel no emotion whatsoever. My FWB from our early 20s, I think about fondly. We were actually friends but were almost never in the same place at the same time… |

What do you mean forget? If someone says, hey, remember Larlo? I’m not going to say, Larlo who? I was very in love with him and lived with for 4 years in 2 different states. I was devastated when the relationship ended. Of course I haven’t forgotten him. But do I think about him? Once or twice a year, maybe, and then usually only if something comes up that reminds me of him somehow. He doesn’t just come to mind.
I had 3 significant relationships before I met my husband and my HS boyfriend is the only one I think of out of the blue sometimes. I credit the poignancy of adolescence for that. |

Isn't this a given now? Even if you love someone and have a great relationship, people suggest to break off just to play the field more, even if you end up never finding a good relationship. |

| No. I remember even the one I had a crush on when I was 12. Not his name or anything, just the fact he exists. |

“Once loved” is an interesting way to phrase it..I just don’t think I’ll ever get over them. I loved them then and I always will even if they’re not around.
