It is said that girls cant forget their 1st love it is really hard for them, Is it the same with men? I am 25 dating , a man of age 38 , his ex-gf got married ..2 yrs later he met me, we r good friends ,now want to get married, Can he love me truely?will I be compared with her? Will his ex-relation come in between us? I am really scared about this nightmare, Should I give some more time before getting into a relationship with him? will his age be a problem? how long can a men satisfy his women?

    i'm pretty sure it's possible to end a relationship with someone and be happy with someone else. my first love wasn't really my love, right? i'm not with them now, and i am really happy with my husband and i truly love him.

    i think it all depends on the person. if your boyfriend wasn't the one doing the breaking up and he is still hung up on his ex, then i suppose you might need to work through that with him, but i don't think it neccessarily has anything to do with the "first".

    even though, just so you know, most people do compare their present spouse to a past boyfriend or girlfriend at one point or another. i've done it and i'm sure my boyfriend has. it's just human nature.

    Sometimes a good ex will always be around as a memory or even in person locally. A good marriage will not be ruined by other people no matter what the memories are.

    Marriage involves the understanding that the married people will be together for the duration, no matter what else happens or has happened.

    Personally, I don't care if my bf looks at other women sometimes or talks about his ex. He is my partner, he can say or think whatever he wants. It won't change the fact that we are a couple.

    We will be married someday, maybe other people will tempt us, idk, but we will stay married and avoid infidelity just for the sake of a good partnership and peace in our home.

    Personally I would proceed with caution. I married a man, whom I do love dearly but he is 15 years older than I am. I never thought it would matter, but age DOES matter in time. Now it might not be much but when he is 60 and you are only 47, wow! The romantic, sexual stuff changes believe me. I love my husband so much, but the sexual part is nothing like I would want for my life. But I do love him so we stay together. I am romantic, he is not, I love to kiss and hug, and he doesn't as much as I do. The old girlfriend, if she is married, she shouldn't be a problem, but you should NEVER marry anyone with the doubts you have. Take time, date, be engaged for a long time, you don't need to rush, you are young, don't ruin your life with the fantasy of marriage and a house or whatever. Believe me, it isn't worth losing the best years of your life. He shouldn't rush you, he should understand you want to take your time. I learned the hard way. I never loved anyone the way I love my husband, it is so deep, but I gave up romance, intimacy, the closeness I love, kissing, etc. He doesn't kiss too well, ha, not his fault though. Just be sure, don't rush. You don't need a license to love someone. Hope that helps.

    Give him sometime to his self. He probably still has feelings for that girl. But wait a little while until you and him get into this relationship. Ask him if you and him can talk about this being in a relationship. Not all the time the age is a problem. I would not think that is the proublem. I think he just has feelings over the girl .

    There will always be a spot in my heart for my first. However, I am in a way better relationship with an amazing girl that I plan on being with forever, I guess its just a memory you have. I think you should be fine. Alot of women fear that men will compare them to their late ex's. If he really loves you for you, you do not need to worry about this. Good luck!

    Its not just girls who dont forget their first love. Love is incredible and when you find it, you never want to lose it. He will never forget her if he loved her but dont let that stop you both from happiness. Its true that you can have more then 1 love. If you two are going to get married then he loves you thats all that counts. Dont think about anything else!! Unless hes doing something you cant live with then dont worry about the ex. She moved on and it sounds like he has too. He found something in you that he fell in love with, he wont compare that to anything else. Then again we dont know him like you do. Just dont worry about it or youll cause yourself to get cold feet. Dont forget tho, your conscience is your friend!! Listen to your gut, if your really scared then maybe you should wait a little.

    Yes they can. Its only human to compare eachothers relationships. But the thing is if it was meant to be for them they would have worked things out. for it to be working great for ya to consider marriage is that she does not compare to you. You will marry and be happy make memories of yas own- Age is only a number and love don'yt care how old you are thats over rated. Take Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. Beleive me it is not an issue unless you make it one. Yes you can truly love eachother much hope for you two..

    if he was not over her he would not want to marry you! ANd you know it is only natural for men to make comparissions as long as he does not say what he thinks out loud and if he does then dont be afraid to confront him about but make sure you ask calmly and dont use a tone! You dont ever want to fight about the past because your the future!

    Trust me. It could not be a good date for you according to the age difference. Try to forget him and find another who may suit you.
