Who is the greatest love of your life? Is it your spouse or someone else?

You never met them.

He came back into my life a few years alter before he got married, and we had a lot of long talks, but I was in medical school, and he wanted to be career military. I was still young, and I couldn’t see another path besides the one I was on.
We are both married now. Both have four kids. I haven’t spoken to him since he got married.

My college gf. I was a late bloomer and graduated at 26. She was a few years out of college and 24. I loved her like crazy and still think about her at 40. Had to end it because her parents wanted her to be with someone in their class.

Why do you think this person is the love of your life?

Male. I've never loved anyone the way I loved my first serious girlfriend in college. We planned to marry, but our relationship was crushed mostly by distance and poverty. I won't be specific, but I can say that her life in the years after we broke up was pretty difficult and then she died unexpectedly - this was all unrelated to me, but I can't help feeling that things might have been different for her if we'd stayed together. It makes me pretty sad at times. I've been reasonably happily married to another woman for 31 years, 3 kids. But that first woman took something from my heart that has never come back.

My daughters. I love my spouse, but I feel so deeply for my daughters, and it’s a whole different level of love.

Spouse.

There's a college girlfriend I get nostalgic about, but that has as more to do with remembering how fun it was to be young and in college as it does about her. Fact is, it would've turned out poorly if we'd stayed together.

My best guy friend
We have never judged each other
He always, always supports me
He always listens to me
He always makes time for me
I truly love him without conditions
He once said to me: “you could walk into a room and tell me that you murdered a person in the next room, I wouldn’t think you were a bad person”

Weird example, but we truly believe the best in each other, and always give benefit of the doubt

My mom and dad were very happily married for 52-years before my dad's death (just awful and crushing) and they both referred to us 3 kids as 'the loves of their life'....even though their marital love was very great. It used to make me smile.

My son. Definitely.

My husband. He died, though, so is he also the one who got away?

Sorry for your loss. You were lucky to marry the love of your life. Those precious memories will live on.
