How long did it take you to get over the loss of that one person you thought was the love of your life?

I was young.. naive living in the USA alone.. from ireland.
Met a photographer guy! Half way through the year he went to Kuwait. On my last night he arrived back to say goodbye but promising me he'd come to Ireland. I flew home. He never got in touch.. I bumped into him in a random pub in Dublin City. . 5 months later.. his lies broke my heart. I flew to Switzerland to work and get my mind off him. It took me a while.. as I was dating men who reminded me of him. Could have been a stupid 13 years of pining and wishing he was mine..
Until I decided to date men who were the complete opposite of him. That's when I met my boyfriend now hubby. I still hold a stupid flame for this USA man.. but it's not a roaring fire anymore.

@Dusty101 Wow, 13 years is a considerable amount of time, I hope it doesn't take me that long. It's not nice at all to miss someone whom you know you can't ever be together with again. Thanks for sharing your story. 🙂

@brokenwhiskeyglass I was very naive. . Not mature mentally to handle it. He got in touch two years ago on messenger apologising.. 24 something years later.. I'm a forgiving person... but NAH.. if he irish danced all the way back to me tomorrow camera and Guinness and all I'd tell him to f**k off!!! 😆
