My boyfriend(for the last 6 months) still loves his first love and I'm his second. He broke up with her, then 2 months later we started dating. These feelings are really confusing him and he doesn't think it is fair to me. Is it normal for a guy to always have feeling for his first love?

countrygirlWV agony auntOf coarse its ok. Everybody still has feelings for there first love. When u love someone its forever. You can move on and have new loves that will last forever and b happy. As long as he's not wanting to get with her things a perfectly fine.

I still remember my first love and that was 40 years ago. We were 18 and really liked each other, but for stupid reasons both of our parents didn't allow us to date. I still remember what she looks like. Of course, I never liked her as much as either my first of current wives when I dated them, but I still have fond memories of her. I also still had good feelings for my first wife after she left me and did even after starting to date the woman who is now my wife. I'm not sure that I would call it love, more like good and loving memories. My wife always understood and accepted that. I just read this to her before posting and she said, "There's nothing wrong with that."

Susan Strict agony auntI think most men remember their first love with some degree of fondness and nostalgia at the very least - even many, many years later. The first is always special (and I most certainly remember my first boyfriend with particular affection even now).

Give it a bit of time, and help him to move on. I'm sure it will start to feel all right in a while if you can both work on it.

Good luck.
