“There is no way that the love that I had with Big is the same thing that he has with Natasha.” – Carrie (Sex and the City, Season 2, Ex and the City)
Isn't it crazy how you could feel such a strong connection to someone, but then for whatever reason the relationship doesn't work out and then most relationships after that one are trying to win first place? In life, we compare tastes, clothing, shoes, prices, styles, sounds, colors, textures...in essence, we are always comparing something to something that may or may not be better, so how does one stop comparing when it comes to relationships?
Do you compare the love you felt for someone in the past, to the love you feel for someone in your present? Do you compare the love and affection that either person shows/showed you? Do you compare style of dress, mannerisms, sexual experiences/desire, ways of expressing emotions, laugh, smell, touch, beliefs regarding money/family/religion/culture? Is it a good idea to compare or does it bring more stress to your life? Is it easier to just say "the past didn't work out so just drop it and move on"? Is that easier said than done?
When you have experienced what you believe to be true, genuine love for another human being and you felt that reciprocated, how can you simply not compare anything else to it?
