How did falling in love feel different the second time around? Was it more intense, less giddy, etc? Do you think it had to do with the difference in SO or because of a change within yourself?

The a fond time I fell in love was much more intense than the first. The first guy was my best friend and our relationship felt pretty safe and comfortable. There was love but no passion. He admitted it when he broke up with me: "I'm by in love with you and I'm not sure I ever was." Six months earlier he had told me to start planning our wedding. It absolutely destroyed me. How could this man that I built my entire life with-- around if I'm being honest-- tell me that he wasn't ever in love with me? I moved 900 miles away from home for his dream job, sacrificing the early years of my own career, and he's just breaking up with me like it's nothing. Like we would still be best friends after. All while he was leaving me with nothing-- no boyfriend, no money, literally no home. I had to pick up my car and move 900 miles back home to live with family. I have never felt low in my whole life.

But you know, I had a job interview TEN DAYS after I got back here. And I got offered the job on the spot at the interview! I was still pretty depressed for a while but at this new job I met the people who would become my best friends, and I met a guy. Took me a while to accept that I was into him but once I did it, I fell in love with him hard. And fast! I always feel like the spark has to burn out as some point but two and a half years later he still gives me butterflies. I still want to have all of his attention and give him all of mine. I hate to sound so sappy, but it feels like a movie kind of love that I didn't believe existed in real life. And I know a huge part of that is because he is actually crazy in love with me too, which makes me realize exactly how much I was missing when I was with my ex.
