Still no closer to understanding whether the "first love" thing has any bearing. There are articles dotted around the net saying it creates a special bond that is to be concerned by as it's very strong. Having said that as no one has directly responded yet on the question gives me hope that it's nothing to be feared or overly concerned by.
It is very common in the MLC forum.
The only person to fear is YOU, IMHO YOU are the only person that YOU can CONTROL.
So focus on that and the rest will work itself out exactly as it is meant to be.
