Not totally.. but the feelings change from that intense pain to something allot gentler over time. This is one that can last a really really long time if we try and "deal" with it twenty four seven with a drug or alcohol.. I remember when i broke up with a true love, shit hurt so bad I climbed into a bottle for over a year.. just kept reliving that pain every night.. sobered up for awhile and after three months and finally dealt with it pretty good.. It got allot better then. I still think about her sometimes, first thought was her when i read this thread title, but know its just of some of the amazing times we had and not that awful sadness and pain.
And I totally agree with MR.S that we have a few true loves over a life time.
Know exactly what you mean... And Bodda , it will be better in time, my feelings for my ex girlfriend havent really subsided yet and it's been 3.5 years now.. I sure don't have a good answer too it other than try to focus on some kind of self help books.. That worked some for me... Good luck
