    I talked to a couple last night (late 30s) who met by chance again recently, The first love is the deepest..:):):pac:

    Has anyone here stayed with the same man or woman through school to present day, or met up with them again at a latter date? Life is like a storybook at times. :pac:

    I re-fancied someone once.

    I was home for Christmas and a man crossing the road caught my eye. I was halfway through the thought 'oh, he's handsome' when I remembered -

    :o

    we'd spent an entire youth disco kissing on a couch at the back of the hall, till the lights came on and then we trailed off and never really spoke again. Best kisses ever. He turned out really well and all. I had a good glad eye at 15.

    My secondary school sweetheart (as i'm not in America) is currently married with 2 kids, so i don't think that relationship will be rekindled!

    I had two 'high school sweethearts'....






    They're both lesbians now :(

    Not me, but a woman I know was with her partner from mid 20s to late 30s and he left her for another woman. He never wanted kids with her either, but became a dad with the woman he left her for. She wasn't from the area that she moved to, to be with him, so she didn't really know many others, making it an extremely lonely, painful time for her.

    Then, on top of all that, she got made redundant at work. So she decided to go travelling with the money. On one of her excursions she got chatting to a man by chance at the airport, who turned out to be a guy she was going out with when she was 16! They are now married. :)

    My dad married his very first girlfriend when he was in his early 70s. They found each other again through Facebook.

    Currently, I am searching for a fellow I knew in highschool. I recently found out from another highschool friend that Donald had a crush on me in school. I ran into him a few years after that but never knew about the crush. If I had of known I would have given him my phone number because he had certainly changed in the looks department for the better.

    No but I was mad about a girl when in secondary.Nothing ever happened,suppose 2 of was were too shy.The day the leaving cert finished I was walking where she use to get the bus,she gave me a french kiss before she got on the bus.That was 21 years ago.Never met or heard of her since.

    Even tried checking up and seeing if i could find her on linkedin and facebook out of curiousity.

    Any of the women I was with in secondary school all wound up to be mothers with lots of kids.

    My GF sent me a message on Facebook book 3 years ago, we hadn't seen each other since college in 2004. Chatted on it and decided to meet up for a drink to catch up on old times.

    Now we live together and have a load of animals. :pac:

    I lost the details of my High School Sweetheart. I must have left them in the glove compartment during the drive-in movie or else at the Mall just outside Michelstown.

    Did you check behind the drapes in your condominium or on the side walk beside the mail box?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    No. If you want to know what I was like during secondary school, think of Dougal meeting that feminist rock singer.

    He should have got her cell phone number when she was signing his yearbook at the end of last semester.

    Sounds like true love alright...

    I know two couples that did this, both now trapped in loveless marriages with several children depending on them, each day more miserable than the last, filled with regret for all the experiences they missed out on.

    Yes. America. Too much. A bunch of much.

    Sounds like could be the plot of a movie starring Jennifer Aniston and Matthew McConaughey, and maybe Matt Damon as the scumbag ex-husband.

    your'e one of them aren't you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,956 ✭✭✭Doc Ruby


    your'e one of them aren't you?
    No, in fact I am not. It sounds true though doesn't it? Because it is. We all know people like this, and with the divorce rate climbing every year more and more miserable unions are coming to light.

    Bottom line is this, lads and ladies, we aren't made to be monogamous. There's this whole massive industry built around marriage and lately divorce, hammering at you from every side. Pressure from friends, pressure from families, pressure from partners who have bought into it, the church telling you your children will be bastards, the government telling you you'll save a few euros on taxes. Marry your childhood sweetheart, isn't that romantic, it's the American Way. Soap operas, comedies, movies, magazines, newspapers, settle down, get married, it's the natural thing to do!

    But it isn't. The entire edifice looks exactly like the spiel during the property bubble because it's the same sort of oul tat being peddled. Now I know a lot of people are married, and some of them may even be happy - good for you. But it's not the natural order of things, nor is it desireable.

    If two people really care about one another they don't need a legal contract to prove it. They'll just stay together. If you don't have certain rights without being legally bound to a life partner, that's a problem with the law not an expression of human nature.

    The flipside of saying that "it helps people stay together when times are tough" is that it keeps people together when they really shouldn't stay together, and gives license to abusive and manipulative individuals to pull stunts that would have gotten them dumped instantly if there was not this massive pressure and a legally binding contract.

    I've seen way too much pain and not nearly enough happiness come from that most peculiar institution to support the idea of marriage. If you aren't married, don't do it.

    I had my first kiss with a fella when I was 13 and in 1st year, he was a few years older but he didnt want to be my boyfriend because he said he didnt like me that much at the time :D

    We both moved to different schools and then when I finished school when I was 17 I looked him up on Facebook. He was in college, not that far from where I ended up moving to.

    So he seemed to like me this time around (must have improved in the looks department :D) and we've been together ever since :)

    Never been in a relationship, never felt any particular attraction or "love" for another person, not even in secondary school.

    I think my year had about 7 girls in it, and 40 boys.
