It's all illusion regarding matters of the heart. Many, and I mean MANY people opine about the one they let get away. They live the reality of marriage with all of its highs and lows, and mostly plateaus, 'thinking' things would've been better, 'if only'.
Ha, I say snap out of la-la land and accept that the only love is the one you are with. Love is an action word. And, the one you do for, and the one who cares for your needs is the one you really love.
Holding on to the illusion of the elusive relationship of old is the enemy's way of keeping you from honoring, respecting, and cherishing the love you have.
Funny thing is, when you hear elders grieve for the loss of a spouse they were married to for decades, they never tire of talking about what they miss so much about the one God took away, their spouse.
One last thing, anyone who catches a cheater red-handed should graciously walk away and sing the loudest praises to the Most High for sparing them years of sorrow, and potential risks for fatal diseases.
Peace.
Thanks, the woman you keep to in marriage is the one that God has giving to you, but not the first love.

On behalf of those who wisely married their first love, I believe the majority, if not all, know they made an exceptional choice.
I think many miss God's best; but, must make peace with, and honor God by the covenant choice they made in marriage.
God alludes to the 'wife of your youth' (Proverbs 5). She is a treasure from Him. Many underestimate the powerful bond of the first love God gifts them with; and, on letting this person get away, consequentially find themselves living life making the best existence with the 'spouse' of their choosing.
Peace.

May God bless you, l see first love as a trial of man to make an experimental relationship. It is not actual real love, because few people stayed with the relationship while majority cant cope and put an end to it. Samson in the bible tasted his first love but ended to nothingness.
