Keeping in touch with teenage boyfriend

I also have some questions I would like to ask him.

My husband is still friends with some of his ex girlfriends - but it’s all very open and aboveboard. No sending song stuff to each other - at least as far as I know! Ive met a couple of them but not others as we live a long way away and out paths just haven’t crossed.

I have often thought about putting a message on Gransnet, to find out other ladies experience with an ex-boyfriend. He used to live in Harlow, Essex, moved to London, now lives in his parent's old house in West Sussex, Landscape architect/architect, very much a socialist, initials P.R. Has one older sister, who lives in East Sussex. Yes, I did love him but he never wanted to be tied down and was seeing other women when he was going out with me. Moving to London, he told me, was an opportunity for him to have a new life!

Retired 65 that is funny - my DH used to live in Harlow and went to live in London (where he met me) but there the similarity ends - intials SP and we live in Hertfordshire!
I have kept in touch with several old school mates male and female and it is lovely to reminisce together from time to time. I did keep in touch with my first love - well he with me really - Valentine cards for years etc. - when we met up again we organised a school reunion together and our other halves (he was on Wife No 3 by then!) got on well - in fact along with some other school friends we all went away to a weekend pop festival together. Sadly he died some years ago now - far too early. I remember feeling when he died that he was someone who did still truly love me in some way. No reflection on DH who does too in all ways - we have been happily together nearly 45 years. By the way DH is in touch with a couple of past girlfriends and one is a friend of mine! There is no harm in enjoying a bit of nostalgia and pointless being jealous of past relationships.

And now I am just going to look up a couple of other exs out of curiosity!

An old fiancé got in touch with a friend of mine through fbook, I'm not on it, and gave her his phone number to give to me if I wanted to say "hi". That was a couple of months ago and I still haven't bothered. We were engaged 34 years ago, I broke it off cos I felt I was still too young to settle down. We are now both divorced, but I think the past is better staying there.

I keep up with 3 old boyfriends, they are now friends of the family, its just nice as we know where we come from and where we've ended up. DH happy with the arrangements and likes them too!

I have kept in contact with some old classmates, two of whom were boys I went out with at the time. I am convinced that they are all the nicest bunch of people - all grandparents now, of course.

I wasn't quite so emotionally involved as the OP and I live in a different country now, so the main form of contact is Christmas cards.

No l would not want too.Whats in the past is precisely that in the past.Happy with my dear other half!

If you don’t want the answer don’t ask the question

Yes, a couple of my ex boyfriends became good friends and we’ve always stayed in touch, along with a school friend of mine who also went out with one of them. We’ve been to each other’s weddings, commiserated when 2 of those marriages didn’t last and just generally been there for each other. Our husbands/wives/partners know and realise it’s a friendship group rather than a threat to the main relationship in each of our lives. We’re currently meeting up on Zoom, but hoping to get together in person at the end of May, somewhere in UK.

Facebook, Friends Reunited have cause many marriage problems and divorce. I have kept in touch with an old boyfriend's family who I love dearly. His mum always said that bis subsequent 3 wives all looked like me.

Nope, I wouldn’t remotely be interested in contacting any of my ex boyfriends, they were exes for reasons, never think about them, as happily married, if one of mine contacted me and played sweet sixteen I would find it very cringy but each to their own

I never have but I always wished that one of them would

What is in my past, stays there.

What is in my past, stays there.

Too right

My Husband would go ballistic. He knows my ex boyfriend from his home town though we don't live there anymore. Mind you I would feel the same if he was contacting his ex-girlfriend. We have been together 42 year. Some things are best left in the past

I don't keep in touch with my ex husband and certainly not with old boyfriends.
