1. You Can’t Get over Them

When you know that you’ve met the love of your life but you’re not with them, it’s nearly impossible to get over them. You know that that person is out there and you know who they are, but you can’t be with that person. Plus, nothing really big probably happened to end your relationship, making it even harder to get over the love of your life.

2. Nothing Really Happened in the Breakup

It’s so much easier to get over someone when they’ve done something wrong to you. Whether you were cheated on, or you got into a huge fight, or you just really didn’t get along as well as you thought you did, it’s much easier to get over someone knowing that it didn’t work. When you’ve met the love of your life and nothing really happened to break you up, it’s nearly impossible to move on!

3. You’ll Date People Briefly

There is nothing worse than awkward, uncomfortable first dates here and there, but that’s what you’ll be subjected to after meeting the love of your life. You’ll try to give other people a chance but it’s hard to get serious when you know there’s someone out there who’s perfect for you.

4. Nothing else Feels Right

Maybe you’ll eventually settle into a relationship, and while it’s fine, it just doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel like your relationship with the love of your life did. That’s such a hard thing to come to terms with, isn’t it? All love feels different, but nothing’s felt right since you met the love of your life.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Love Purgatory

Love purgatory is the worst. It means that you know who the love of your life is, but you’re not together, and there’s nothing you can do to get together. There’s nothing worse than knowing who the love of your life is but not being able to be with them. Life isn’t always a romantic comedy waiting for you to make a big, grand gesture for the love of your life. Life isn’t always that easy.

6. Everyone Thinks You’re Crazy

No one understands how you could be so hung up on one person. You don’t really understand it either, but that’s beside the point. People set you up with great dates and while they’re good on paper, they’re not good for you. People may start to think you’re crazy, but let them!

7. You’re Hopeful

Just because it hasn’t worked out now doesn’t mean that it won’t work out in the future. The timing may have been off before, but that doesn’t mean that in a few years you won’t reconnect and fall in love again! Being hopeful is a great quality to have, especially in love!

I met him but we've never been together and it's quiet impossible but maybe one day :/

It's happening to me it really hurts.... Definitely the wrong time

I first laid eyes on him in year 10 science and as soon as I saw him I had a weird gut feeling he was going to be part of my life and have an impact on me as a person I just didn't know if it was for good or for the bad. And i had a feeling that he was gonna cross my path and leave his mark and I was right he did leave his mark. he's the love of my life. And everyone's going to think I'm crazy because I'm still young and I've got my whole life ahead of me and I'm already saying I know who the love of my life is. Yes it does sound crazy but nothing make sense without him, and when I am with him everything clicks into place and nothing in the world matters and I feel at home and safe and I feel that with him Is where I belong. I've tried getting over him and for the past 4 years I feel like I'm putting up a facade with my past relationships. It just doesn't feel real like I'm just in a shell when I'm in these relationships. But when I'm with him I'm a live and the world feels right again, I just can't be with him because he's in a toxic relationship that's always on and off every 5 mins and it's hard to see him hurt all the time and I wish I could do something but I can't no matter how much I try

me too, but how can you be hopeful for the future about it? can anyone explain this to me?

How do you know you've met the love of your life?

The 1st time I saw him... I knew he was it!!!

It s about my life right now. I met few months ago the ONE..THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. Im on the wrong turn...divorced...broke...stuck with mortgage.. living far from each others...but we are soulmates and in real love. I want to end up the relationship but he does not want and still think we are made for each others and that will come a day soon where we can be together....Im 43 years old and he is 38...Im not even sure I can make kids...too old..!! Life is not a fairy tale but it seems that my soulmate wants to keep me forever!!!

So true

there's a guy I really like but I'm moving to a different country and its a 12 hour drive from here. we both really adore each other but are too young to do anything about it. does anyone have any suggestions of how to work through this one?
