No. There was a reason why we split and he’s probably still a two-faced lying philanderer grin

Can't see the problem as long as no one is getting hurt. It obviously brings a little joy into both your lives.

If you're both free then it's fine. If not, it's trouble.

I think it's sweet. Have you watched Last Tango in Halifax?
If you are both romantically free, and there is an old spark, why not try to see if it can spark a flame?

Crikey if someone was playing sweet sixteen to remember me by they are going to get the shock of their lives if they meet me now.

Ditto!

I like the way everyone assumes I am married!!No more comments please!

Are you single Molly? Is he?

MollyAA12 Wed 07-Apr-21 21:01:28

Oh dear what a moralising lot you are! I have done absolutely nothing wrong.

LullyDully Wed 07-Apr-21 19:47:43

Good for you Molly, it obviously makes you both happy.

Not sure I need or want to be reunited with my old boy friends, but that's just me. I am still happy and prefer Mr LullyDully.

Hmm no. Sixteen is a long time ago ? and I'd rather live for today.

M0nica Wed 07-Apr-21 17:58:57

Hmmm, if people start wanting to live in the past, it is usually because they are not happy with the present. They would be better off spending their time sorting that out.

He says he has always loved me and it is all rather poignant.

I wonder how many other of his teenage girlfriends he is spinning that spiel to - and how disloyal to his wife, and if he is divorced, was it for being unfaithful?

It doesn’t sound poignant to me, it sounds like an emotional affair.

Pantglas2 Wed 07-Apr-21 17:16:42

If you’re both single now, no problem but it could lead to difficulties within a marriage.

My friend has done this and gotten away with it so far but it would end in tears if her husband/his wife found out.

Don’t think my husband would be too happy.
No.

Has anyone done this? On Friends Reunited years ago an old boyfriend got in touch. We went out when I was sixteen. We have been in touch by e mail for about ten years. We drifted apart because we went in different directions.

He says he has always loved me and it is all rather poignant. We play old songs on Spotify to remember each other now and then. I picked Don't let the sun Catch you crying by Gerry and the Pacemakers.

He has grandchildren. He plays When youwere sweet Sixteen for me.

Is anyone else doing this?
