Why you never forget your SECOND love: People reveal how it felt to fall head over heels again after their first heartbreak

  • People have shared what it's like to find love a second time on the app Whisper
  • Some are still not over their first love - despite being in another relationship
  • Others said their second relationship taught them they could love again

The first cut is the deepest - or so the song goes. 

But for many, the second time they fall for someone can be just as significant - if not more so.

People who have fallen in love for the second time have been sharing their relationship stories anonymously on the secret-sharing app Whisper. 

While some said they were still heartbroken from their first love, many said that their second gave them hope, teaching them to love again. 

Others were disillusioned by love in general - reporting bad experiences in both relationships.
