I had relationships after that, but it seems I never got over it because I can’t get her out of my mind even at 57. I never got married and can’t seem to find the right person.

Published: Apr. 26, 2024, 5:30 p.m.DEAR ANNIE: When I was in college, I dated someone for a year. It was great, and I respected and loved her in every way.

When I called, her husband answered. I took it like a man and moved on, I thought. DEAR CRAZY IN LOVE: You’re dealing with unresolved feelings and idealizing a past relationship, which is quite common, especially after one as impactful as yours. The fact that no one seems to measure up to this woman, though, indicates that you’re comparing all of your more recent relationships to an idealized version of her, rather than seeing each new person for their unique qualities, which, in turn, creates a barrier to forming new, meaningful connections.
