Do we forget our love?

It is very difficult to find your real love without trying several. As a rule people have several love affairs before they choose a person they want to live with the whole life. There are only a several cases when people marry their first love.
Some people say that to find out if it is your real love or not it is necessary to have some experience and something to compare with.
But sometimes when people break up and start new relations, they notice that their old feelings to their former lovers are still strong and still exist.
Some people say that it is impossible to forget relations that lasted more than 5 years. Of course it is true. 5 years of relations and 5 years of our life with a person don't pass unnoticeably. So, you shouldn't be very nervous if your date remembers the relationships with her/his former lover. It may happen not because he/she still loves her/his former couple but because he/she during a certain period of life were doing everything together. So, she/he is not guilty that all her/his stories are connected with her/his former love.
It is very difficult to forget a person you've loved and to stop loving him/her. A long period of time has to pass so that a person could have another love affair. People who spent much time together and already had mutual life, feel that they have lost something very important that is why a lot of couples who break up begin seeing each other again.
But of course real love can't be forgotten. It leaves its marks and scars that may never heal.
Sometimes a person stops to believe in love and hope to find the perfect husband/wife.
But every person is unique and there is no general rule that people don't forget their former love. The proof of this fact is numerous couples that live together happily.
