To gush over a former lover here, in a safe space?

[twinklestar2]

15 years ago before I got together with now DH I had a 6-month fling with a friend of a friend.

I saw him on Monday after about 10 years of not seeing him as our mutual friend came to visit so we all caught up. He's single and was very flirty. I would never ever jeopardise my marriage and my family - I have a 3-yr-old DS, but it was lovely to see him again, feel a bit of a spark and feel attractive to someone who I admit is 'my one that got away.'

He talking about meeting up again but I have said no. It's just not worth the risk.

But it was lovely to feel giggly and 22 again!

Anyone else have a similar person from their past that they have a connection with?

Lots of fond memories. In my head.

You sound a little bit over excited. Be careful!

I know! Hence the reason this is my 'safe space'. It won't spill over into real life

You seem very set on not actually meeting up with him and very aware of the dangers - since that's the case, gush away!

I think very fondly of many of my exes, in fact there is only one I don't like. They are lovely men, I have good taste!

I wouldn't call 'AIBU' a 'safe space' !

He sounds lovely op , and you sound very excited..... Be careful not to feed it too much, it's amazing what fantasy can activate in us.

Ha it's a safe space as in you're all anonymous

Me and DH are TTC baby number 2. He's brilliant and I love him. I would never risk our future together for something that happened in the past.

It probably wouldn't be as good as back then anyway!

Awwww, it's fun to reminisce sometimes isn't it? We've all got one
I always like to think I'm one of my exes one that got away too but I'm sure that's nonsense.
Good luck TTC OP

I am def one that got away for another one of my exes. His mate told me

AIBU a safe space

Your poor DH, married the only person he's ever loved, works his fingers to the bone to support his family, every waking hour is all about how he can make his family happy.

And then he logs on to MN one night and finds his DW dribbling over some twat she knew back in the day.

LTB I say

Snap. There's always that one. Doesn't mean I'm not extremely happy where I am in life now.

lay off Doris

she ain't dribbling, not nice to call her a B and why are you inventing stuff about her husband

OP it's normal, well done for saying no to second meeting and both old flame & DH sound lovely :)
good luck TTC

Helpful doris.

It's healthy to reminisce as long as you have zero intentions of going there or testing the water. Always remember that memories can be a little rose tinted.

Doris is joking

I think

I think hope Doris is joking!

We are friends on FB so wish each other happy birthday once a year and because we have mutual friends he is friendly with my DH too. I just haven't seen him physically in years.

My DH knows he was going to be there the other day and trusted me to go out with him and our mutual friend. I would be the worst person in the world if I broke that trust. That would be so wrong!
