I think the grief you feel for a first love, 3 yr relationship is normal.

Hi Helen

I can empathize with you and know how you feel all i can tell is that each person gets over someone they care about differently.
Somedays i think i might still be in love with my ex we broke up about a yr ago now and we were together just over 4 years. Other days i feel like i'm ready to move on and have someone in my life because i miss having someone to care about me. But i know neither one is the solution and i try not to think about it and just live life the best i can and hope one day it all makes sense!

Hope this helps and all i can say is time may make things easier.

He was your first love and you'll always have a special place for him in your heart and thats not such a bad thing. Perhaps others may disagree but this is my 2 cents.

I went through a really rough breakup with my first love, we were together for 5 years and it took me a long time to get over him. But afterwards I realized I loved him I just wasn't in love with him and I knew we weren't right together in the long run. Today he's one of my best friends. Now I'm having a harder time getting over someone I was only with for a year! I guess everyone and every situation is different but I think first loves are always tough and you'll always have a place in your heart for him and that is okay!
