Long story short, with DH for 20 years, married for 15. Happy enough if not exactly setting the world on fire, much as you are after that long. Only other long term relationship for me was for 4 years when I was late teens/early 20s.
So guess who pops up on Facebook the other day? (Other long term ex in case you weren't sure). Ended up messaging back and forth for most of the day, sharing memories and old photos. He says he's not looking for anything more (although he's in the process of splitting from his wife) and I'm definitely not.
But...it was so nice to talk, to remember a time when I was young and thin and cool (ish) and to hear someone say nice things about me - nothing he shouldn't have, just how much he thought of me.
We ended the conversation on a good note and promised to stay in touch so I know I should leave it there but I so want to message him again. I'm honestly not looking for anything to happen (don't really find him that attractive any more) but for some reason I want to keep the conversation going. I've been checking my phone every 5 minutes ever since like a stupid teenager .
Would it be so bad if I messaged him again?

Talking to an ex is not a good idea, right?
