[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also 19. We were together for 3 years during college and a year after. We talked about getting married, but kept fighting and lived in different cities after college, so things just dissolved.

There was a long time I thought we maybe could put things back together, but it never worked and I had a hard time when he moved on (to the woman he married about a year after I saw him the last time). He moved to her country and that was that.

No contact, but I do Google him every once in a while. It may be pathetic but it is what it is. I know we never would have been good together long term, but he was still hard to get over since I had spent so much time with him at such a pivitol time in my life.[/quote]

Very similar experience here and among some of my friends.  I think it's because we romanticize the idea of being with your first love "forever" so much that it's hard to let go when it ends.  Also, when you're in a serious relationship at that age, when you're starting to really develop your sense of who you are/will be as an adult, your sense of self can get really wrapped up in who you're with.  If you "lose" that person, you lose a huge part of who you think you are.   [/quote]
