I was deeply in love with my ex and after 2 months of not being with my ex I met my current boyfriend. I never felt a passionate love for him. I told him this a while ago and again last night.We own a home together and he cant understand whats changed. He's a good man. Kind, considerate, good with money, his prioritys are right. Why cant I just be happy?He told me last night he never loved anyone like his first girlfriend (who broke his heart as did other girlfriends) and he said Im silly to think I can find that kind of love again. Im I wrong to think I could ever have a true love?

Perhaps, a couple will feel the 'true love' after fifty years of a solid, peaceful relationship. I am certainly hoping this is the case.

In my opinion true love comes along many times, not just one. Its just that the one that breaks your heart is the one you remember the most, for obvious reason's.
If you have a guy that is considerate, kind, and he seems to be very understanding, I would say you were onto a winner. When he says that he has never loved anyone like the first girl, its probably because he only has fond memories. Who is to say that if he had stayed with her they would have been happy?
Look at what you have, and be gratefull for the love you have found.
