The Second Time Around.

[sigma1836]

For those of you who've managed to fall in love more than once...do the butterflies and sheer awesomeness involved with falling in love for the first time -- do they return in full force the second time around?

 

I guess lately I've just been thinking to myself that it'll be hard to relate my second love to my first. I have nothing to compare it to now, but sometimes it worries me that the anticipation won't be nearly the same as it was with my first. I tend to run through my head how it felt first driving home from their place, first kisses, etc...

I was madley in love with a guy and we broke up and with my new boyfriend I few twice as hard and had the butterflies and so on 2x as hard

In answer to your question yes.

 

I was with my first ex for almost 7 years, and with current ex for almost 2. I loved them both very much but in very different ways. I'm not sure if this is the right word to use, but it felt that there was a lot more depth to the relationship with the first ex. We had an incredible friendship and I felt like I could tell him anything at all, I still miss it sometimes and can't imagine having that with someone else.

 

With the second ex (who I am now kind of back together with) it just seemed different. There was more of a spark there I think which I think made the whole thing seem more exciting and accounted for the "butterfly feeling". Not sure of this makes any sense, it hardly does to me but I don't know how else to explain it.

 

I suppose what I am trying to say is, you will love someone again, it won't be better or worse, just different

YES, YES, YES! It will always be a different type of love and in different ways for different reasons -- people 'fit' or 'work' for you at different times in your life(for me, each time it was more mature and deeper) you WILL feel those 'butterflies' or sparks again!
