    Men, Do you fall in love again as much? Do you compare your exes?
    Both threads merged


    When you've had a deep loving relationship at one point in your life, one that was filled with all that you've ever dreamed of and wanted, one that was about have ended up in marriage but all of the sudden life turns all around and everything that you have dreamed of and wanted ends up to be someone else's and not yours (you lose the girl of your dreams to another guy...

    Can you fall in love again? If yes, can you love the person as deeply as you once loved? Or you can be in a new relationship that satisfies you but is not as loving as the one before?

    You can tell that I'm a bit confused, How can I tell that the person I am with is in love with me as much as he loved his ex? I feel like I'm in constant competition with a person I have never met before

    Give me your honest insights please

    Is it normal for a guy to subconsciously compare his current girlfriend to his ex, the one who left him 2 years back, or does that mean that he hasn't completely healed from that break up ?

    I'd say it depends to what extent he does so.

    If it's something like "My ex cooked it this way, how i prefer it" or "i used to like it when she..." etc, then I'd say he does have some issues he needs to resolve with himself.

    I've never compared any of my EX to a GF. To me it really is comparing apples to oranges. Different people different relationships different situations.

    I think after a proper healing/mourning the loss of a relationship partner, most people are ready to start over fresh without the baggage from the an old relationship.
