You are right falling in love is so wonderful..but what if your partner unexpectedly after dating for some unresolved feeling or religious bagage comes back with suddenly wanting to be friend only without the romance ..I experienced that..very painful...as I was very emotionally involved...I felt like betrayed...he was chosing his religion over me..I asked him to leave with a broken heart...Never to slow to start dating ...that's the lesson I learnt

Marcy, I am in the same we have been apart for 11 years(my mistake) and i am trying to figure out if i love him" again" or 'still" It is so scary, The thought of losing him again terrifies me and don't know how to tell him without risking losing him.It feels good to know i am not alone. Thanks

I remarried my ex-husband after being divorced from him for 8 years. Since we had a past, we skipped the dating part and quickly moved in together before remarrying. It was so much better the second time around. He was the love of my life. Unfortunately, he passed away almost 3 years ago and I will never regret getting back together and will never forget the happiness we shared.

WOW...I just experienced this. My first love and I were reunited after 25 years. We dated for almost two years when he asked me to marry him. We were engaged for two months, had started planning our wedding when he got cold feet. After breaking up, we remained friends. He then decided that it was over. Not discussing this with me and asking how I felt, it was to be his way. So, now I am trying to get over this hurt. All I can say is if you ever see yourself in this situation, if they were married and talk about different problems they had with an ex-wife, pay attention to all the red flags because they will be there in plain sight. I should have paid attention to them during the first year. Now, after four months of hoping he would come back, I have moved on. Thanks to all my friends for their support.

I'm experiencing this now. I girl I dated briefly in highschool has appeared in my life again, and we are friends at this point. Its been a couple months I would say, and I've been falling for her all over again. She hasn't given me any signs either way, just kind of sitting on the fence. I've taken her to ball games, concerts, and we have a great time together. She's told me that she feels very comfortable around me. Which I'm guessing is a good thing? Just yesterday I sent her flowers with this message..."For being such a beautiful person, inside and out. I wish you all the happiness in the world, and I hope that one day I can be the person that brings you that happiness."....There hasn't been much of a response, and its very frustrating. I hope to see her soon, and I'm probably going to just find out from her up front if I've been wasting my time or not. It hurts, but I'd rather have her friendship, than nothing at all.

I have just been reunited with my old high school sweetheart after 28 years and we are also in different states we talk everynight and email each other I know that he wants to take it slow and it is really hard for me but what my question is should I try something like this we are only 12 hours away, but the other thing is he has never left the town we went to high school and has all the same friends he has never traveled anywhere and when we tried to set something up for him to come up here he canceled but he says he wants to try and work our way to something more but for me to be patient with him he has been hurt in the past, should I be pateint??

I am going through this in the same way. a couple of years a go this guy and I dated. I broke up with me because I was scared. There was no reason at all to break up. just a few days ago I got an email from him and we have started talking. I am not sure how I should go about telling him I haven't stop thinking about him. and that I am sorry what ever I may have done. I really would like to see if there is still something there between us still. I just wish I knew how he felt. what should I do?

O' my 'god'...How many other people out there are going through this same scenario? I recently started speeking to my first love; after 10 years! At first it was strange, but then I realised that I may still have feelings for him...Strong feelings! I have no idea on what to do. He has expressed the fact that he loves me still....but how do I know that for sure? ...I guess no guts no glory!!! Thanx for writing in and expressing your feelings Marcy....Even though I have my uncertainties, I know now what I gotta do!

I recently also found my HS sweetheart on Face book. I searched his name and sent him a messasge. He replied. He is happily married with kids and so am I. Why cant i stop thinkin about him now? . I gave him my email address and told him the ball was in his court if he wanted to continue talkin. He never replied. I dont understand though. He knows i am married. We live quite a distant away . I only want to be friends via email . As a man, if your high school sweet heart found you, would you not want to start a friendship and just re aquaint.. i want to know what he might be thinking since i found him? Why was my heart pounding when I found him and I am not sleepin at night cuz the memories all came back to me and I cant stop thinkin about him. I am a married woman.. what is wrong with me? I just dont understand..I want to know what he is feelin? should i persue him and keep sending him messages or do i wait for him to reply? Could his heart be pounding and his mind be thinking about me as well?/ and it scared him?

We've have always loved each other,but our families kept us apart.We're world apart and have been communicating via e-mail and we both feel the same.I feel sooo quilty and sad but we have never stopped loving each other. I have a great husband,good life and 2 wonderful boys, but my heart is in pain,but he keeps asking me to think of our future.He's a doctor and is willing to meet me half way. My children and their future means the world to me please help.
