Yes. Some stick in your memory but others kind of get swept under the carpet. They are all still in your memory somewhere. A photo, something someone says, or even a smell can cause them to come rushing back. "Holy crap, twenty years ago I went to blah and this happened... I'd forgotten about that." Think twice before verbalizing similar moments of sudden recall about old relationships with your current partner.
