I have a friend who is already married for many years. She had a boyfriend when she was in college and they got separated without final closure after five long years because the man did not show up anymore. After more than a decade they met again. they are both married now. Both of them confessed that the feelings have not changed over the years and they continue to have communications behind their spouses back.
Is it really possible that a married person loves his/her spouse and at the same time still in love with his/her ex? This kinda blows my mind because I could not imagine how possible it can be? Can you please give me some light to this because I want to understand my friend's situation. I just cannot tell her that may be her ex is just wanting to have a piece of her...again!

I think it is possible, but I think they need to step back and decide what they are going to do. It's not fair to their spouses to be doing anything about those feelings. Your friend needs to figure out how she feels and who is more important to her, her currant husband who she says she loves. Or her ex who just stopped showing up? Without telling her why? Once she decides who is more important she's going to have to end it with the other. It's not right to cheat on anyone.
But then again her feelings could just end up being more related to fond memories from their past. She needs to be careful. What if she ends a good marriage to find out they are completely different people now and those feelings are for the people they use to be. It's a hard choice. I hope your friend makes the right one.

She has been assuring me that i should not worry about her because she knows what the right thing to do. Even then, as a friend, I cannot help but worry a lot. The good thing is, the man is not really not that demanding of her. He is even reminding her that their situation is different now and they both agreed that they have just to leave things like that...no strings attached.

Hi,
Maybe someone is out only for good old time's sake. If they were only free, it would be alright but then, some social convention frown upon married individual who still swing left or right. In some culture, this could be normal, but I understand you are not comfortable with it. Well, you'll never understand a situation unless you are personally involved in it. Then, like they say, you shall see the light, the light of understanding.

That's so convenient ,what is happening to people i wonder.That means one can take a U turn any time according to their convenience.Is it like that, my new car is not delivered so i will try the old one and once i get my car i will throw the old one in dustbin.One can do this to things but not human beings.What a pity!

It is not something like that. They met and updated what happened in the past and talked about what went wrong. They both keep their marriage intact and they even told me not to worry this much. My friend's marriage is really doing great while the man isn't. even then, he tells her that he is not going to do anything to jeopardize the marriage.

It could be possible but I think one of them would be loved more than the other. These two people need to decide who they want to be with. If they chose to stay with their spouses then it would probably be best to break their friendship before it goes any further. If they want to be together then they need to tell their spouses and get it over with. I hope they make the right decision and quit playing games.

I am thinking that it is the sense of adventure that keeps them together. i do not know because I just cannot buy the idea. However, she said that she loves her husband very much and she does not have any plans of leaving her family for this man. she just wants them to be friends. do you believe that?

they both are wanting to have a piece of each other again.
i just hope that your friend doesn't succomb to the temptation. she can have as many men she wants in her life but she can only have one at a time. cheating is not good. if she were in the shoes of her EXs wife, i don't think she'll appreciate being betrayed.
she has feelings for both of them but i don't think it is possible to love two people with the same intensity at the same time. maybe she is having a rough time with her husband. when she met her ex, her feelings were rekindled. she has to make a decision fast.

That is what i am afraid of because she seems to be into it. I can see how her eyes sparkle everytime she talks about this man.

Hi cherigucchi, Don't expect to understand what is happening with your friend. None of us can understand unless we experience what is happening to the other person. My advice would be to stay friends but not get involved at all. If your friend wants to talk about it, tell her that it isn't your concern and you would rather talk about something else. Blessings.

Love is a tremendous energy which can certainly be reserved for two or more eople, although most people mistakenly assume that love is meant for only one special. These people forget that every person is special in many various ways and no person is more special than any other.
In a way, it is better to love two people at the same time. Then you get into close contact with their different ideas and you can learn from their ideas.

It seems like The Got That Away Story huh? I think they haven't moved on after their broke up many years ago. But time flies, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow is different. We really can't meddle into their stories, but we can tell them that LOVE is a decision. We decide on who we are going to love.

i think that is not love is more like, you like this or that but love is not so easy to share or like two at once, it is better if you build love, because it isnot feelings that comes in one minute or day , it s actually situations and talks and thinkgin gansharing things lots of things at all days
