Just to share something, for the longest time, I was still thinking of my first love. It didn't last long maybe coz we were too young back then. Anyway, after so many years, although there was hatred inside me, I think he still has that spot in my heart. After 22 years, we saw each other via Facebook. We talked about how our lives now and also asked what happened to us then. And so I realized that the story I knew about him that lead me to leave him was not true. And he said, he was also shocked why I never bothered to talk to him anymore. Anyway, while we were telling stories, we noticed that there were instances that we could have met again and probably continue the relationship. And then suddenly he tells me he married when he wasn't really ready yet and that he remains in his marriage coz of the kids. Have you had similar experience? Please do share. Thanks!

i may not have not have similar experience like you do..but with regards to your ex-lover, it's really hard for him to stay in a marriage where he didn't feel love at all with his spouse..he must solve his problem regarding his marriage without you..because maybe he was just not ready to get married because of some situation, but he do love his wife..things like that..marriage is a commitment..we can;t just enter to a commitment and leave it anytime without trying to solve what's wrong..

KNowing that he is already married, that would probably hurt me. I have the same experience but I have to say I am not really in love with the ex. I just tried how it feels like having a boyfriend. I was young then. He likes me. But I don't really liked him that much. But we had a closure. And on facebook when we became friends. He told me he was searching for me in friendster and then facebook and was happy he finally saw me. He said his wife and his relationship isn't that good. And he was trying to express his love again to me. I didn't gave in. I think it would be better to stay away from ex's who are already married and with kids... especially if they are trying to bring back the old flame.

I agree with you. Though he never mentioned of getting back together. I just pity him coz he could have been ready to aettle down on the right time so he won't be feeling this way now.

Not really. I don't think it would have been healthy for me to stay with my ex. He was nice, but he was a bit controlling. I really liked his parents, though. I'd be careful in your situation. Many people do marry before they are ready, but it doesn't mean there is no value to their marriage. And anyone can say that they are only staying with their partner because of the kids.

wheeewww!!! i envy people who could really have a nice talk with their exes as if nothing happened. Ive been married for six years now.. but I still haven't had the courage to reunite or just even say "hi" to my ex. I had so much anger when we broke up... Now, I want to chat with him...but I think that's non sense, because I have my family now.. and what happened between the of was so long overdue..haha.He was just my past.

My first love was way back when I was in secondary school, the guy I loved knew I was madly in love with him, but he always found means and ways to get me on my nerves and also to flirt with girls in front of my very own eyes. However, I still loved him and always wished at that time that one day we will be together. That day eventually came and we met at the beach and spent the whole afternoon together, it was like a magic moment that I never wanted to end. After that, life returned back to normal and he continued with his childish ways and after a while I just got fed up with him. I moved on, and a few months ago after 10 years of all this, he was asking me for forgiveness and telling he regrets everything he had done. I said to him, I forgave you the minute I saw that you and I were not meant to be and I have moved on from then on, I also told him that I will never go back because now I am happy, which is true.
