Did you ever love someone so intensly that you honestly didn't believe you could love someone that much again? If you broke up, how long did these feelings persist?

Yes. Very honestly. The feelings lasted full-throttle for 2 years and then residual for at least another 4 years every time I smelled her perfume (heart racing, stomach cramped, etc). SUCKED!!! But I recovered and loved again...

The longing lasted for a couple of years and she stayed in my dreams for longer than that. But time heals all wounds and in time I found myself and grew to love me. During that time, mostly spent in solace, I realized my flaws in my relationship habits. I learned to view myself from the outside in order to correct my own ignorance. I am in love again now and it's just as deep. But, you'll find, love is different with each person you fall in it with. Losing love is never easy. However, your first love is always the deepest, most intense love you'll ever feel. Equate it to trying a drug for the first time. Cat Stevens said it best, "the first cut is the deepest." Freud would say to sublimate your frustrations with your relationship which works soo well. Start working out, playing sports, going to concerts or out to eat with friends. Any social setting will stop you from driving yourself crazy with all of those pesky "what if" and "why" questions. Good Luck.

Yes, I was in a situation like that for about eight months. He broke up with me for no real reason, and it left me completely devastated... The feelings haven't completely left, and I know that for as long as I live, there will be a small echo of feelings for him. But nothing compares to the strength and stability of my relationship with my wolf. He's helped me through so many rough times, even when we weren't dating.

Yes. I don't really want to talk about it right now, though.

I feel that way now!

Yes, I was crazy about him and when he moved away I was devestated. I knew I'd never love anyone like him again, and I never forgot about him. it was really hard knowing I'd probably never see him again. And sure enough, I never met anyone else that effected me like he did. I went almost 20 years thinking he had died in a motorcycle wreck, until last year a friend told me he didn't die in the wreck. I found him soon after and what do you know - I still feel the same about him. And he still feels for me, too. I don't know where this will take us, but I never lost my feelings for him, even over that long of a period.

From what I've experienced, it tends to be the most traumatizing relationships which cause you to feel most alone afterwards. Maybe you were subject to some form of emotional abuse and are displaying a traumatic attachment to this person?

I loved a boy in the first grade and to this day I still love him. but in the 8th grade he moved away. We shared an innocent love from 1st through 8 th.

yes I did. We were together 5 1/2 years, mostly a struggling relationship, where it was me putting the effort in to try to make up for her lack of effort. I never in a million years thought that love, that feeling, was just a false hope, but I'm greatful for it, because now I'm with my wife, who is a pain in my ass quite often, but I know beyond any shadow of a doubt, is my soulmate, who I don't have to HOPE for love, because I've got it. It took me 1 month to get over the initial pain of her leaving..... 4 months before I had feelings of intimacy for another girl. 6 months before I started dating/having sex again. 2 years before I started enjoying the dating/not being serious scene, and 2 1/2 years before I met my wife to be, and a few more months before I finally let go of my ex, and realized I was fooling myself all along with her.
