Guest Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 I am an immigrant to the US and have been living here for 17 years. I am now married to a wonderful man; no kids. I have a great career and living a good life. Last month, I decided to take a trip back to my home country, for a week only (that's all the time off from work I had). It was meant to be a trip for me, to have fun and party with my friends from high school. On the day I arrived, I took the phone book to track down my ex-boyfriend whom I have not seen for 17 years. We dated for 8 years, and almost married. In 1989, I decided to migrate to the US, and left him with no formal closure or ending to our relationship. I contacted his cousin, last known contact that I have. She willingly gave me his cell phone number. To cut this story short, he came to my hotel on a Thursday night so we could go out for dinner and drinks. It was a sentimental thing to see each other all over again. We have aged and moved on in our lives, but we felt the love for each other come alive again. By the way, he remained single all those years because he felt he promised he would never marry if it were not me. He had tears in his eyes, and asked why I left him in the first place. The night went by nicely, and I invited him to spend the night with me at the hotel. Believe it or not, he refused to have sex with me because of the fact that I was a married woman. We just slept in each other's arms and felt good about the whole thing. He told me that he had a strong feeling that if we were not meant to be together back then, there may still be hope in the future. Had breakfast the next morning and then said our good-byes, until the next time that we see each other again. We agreed to stay in touch by e-mail. I can't stop thinking about him since that time we parted. It feels like falling in love all over again. What's your take on all this? Please advise.
