Why Can't We Shake off the Memory of Our First Love? A WNF Mailbag Episode

In this episode we address a listener's concern that he can't stop fixating on his first love, even though he is happy in his relationship and his ex is married with children. Doug and Dr Talia look at the power of first love from many angles. Are we obsessing or just nostalgic? How can we make our warm memories fuel a warmer current relationship? How can we reclaim the parts of us we have lost that were merely highlighted in those early relationships? And is there a pattern in when we feel that longing? Could it be when we feel disconnected in our current relationship? Tune in and find out!
