jimijam Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 My highschool sweetheart and I rekindled our relationship on my 50th birthday, on 7/24/12 after 32 years of being seperated. We were together in highschool for 3 years until she seemed to get bored and was tired of me being late all the time, so she kicked me to the curb. Here's the problem, I was deeply in love with her then and I wanted to spend our lives together. As much as any highschool kid could be anyway. When we broke up I was devastated, not only because of the breakup but also the way she did it. She got together with another guy at my party. Some time later, I saw her together with an x-friend of mine. This was devastating also since I was still in love with her. I know that bringing these things up will completely destroy any chances of this working but the feelings that I had then are resurfacing and it's eating me up inside. Any Suggestions?
Appleness Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 If you're both single and available then go for it. What are you waiting for? "Rekindle after 42 years" doesn't sound as nice.... 1
Jamesblame Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I think it's fair to say that both of you have changed in 30 plus years, lol. My parents got back together after 25 years and are still going strong. 1
tufa4311 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Do you want to continue with this and see where the FUTURE may take the two of you or would you rather still deal with the past? If you have issues with the past that are eating you up inside there are proper ways to deal with that - it's called counseling. I suggest you get a therapist, deal with the issues of the past and do not live in the past if you'd like this relationship to have a chance. Be sure to take some time and really think this through - if you have pain then that is valid and you need to deal with it. But how you deal with it will determine your potential future happiness.... 1
