I have been married twice; divorced my first husband 9 years ago. At the beginning of November I found him on Facebook and sent him a note. Since that time we have emailed each other back and fourth everyday and talked on the phone for hours on end. Thanksgiving week we spent a considerable amount of time together...

 

We both agree that we want to take things slowly, but how does one do that after you have been married?

 

I have a lot feelings for him and just generally confused... He works out of town months on end. He will be back home at Christmas time. He has mentioned several times that I make him smile and is the happiest he has been in a long while...

 

For some stupid reason I am thinking that this entire last week and month is a joke. I know that it's not true, but I'm afraid that he gonna wake up and ask himself what the hell he is doing starting something with me again...

So why did you divorce in the first place?

I was 24 when we married and fresh out of college... I chose my career over him, didn't know who I was, never understood how to be alone... (always went from guy to guy)

Let me get this straight.... you are talking about your first husband whom you divorced form 9 years ago? You and he are now trying to reconcile?

Midn-night Rider...Yes my first husband... I don't know what we are trying to do... We have both stated that we want to take things slowly... Is that trying to reconcile? I have even gone on to say that I am in it for the long haul and with 100% effort...

Thanks for clarifying. Well, I think it's terrific! At least you are trying to patch something up with a man you once were married to. You know, throughout history there have been many people who got divorced and then re-married. It does happen. I guess it's not so common, but indeed it happens. Elizabeth Taylor re-married the same guy she got divorced from (can't remember his name).
