Posting for traffic I've just seen my ex

[myheartskippedabeat]

So in short me an ex were together 20 years from 14-23/24 then it just because clear we wanted different things

He moved away for work I stayed local

I've just been out for dinner with some girlfriends and drinks and in the bar I saw him he's here visiting family

I'm now 45 and it was like I was a teenager again and it was bizarre

He's married with kids as I am but I went to the toilets he followed me and gave me a piece of paper with his number on and said "you look just like you did when I met you pls msg me I'm here for a week"

I'm flattered but I know it's a bad idea but I can't get past how I felt

Sorry should say together 10 years not 20

This sounds like the first episode of a poorly acted six part Netflix drama.

Throw it away quickly

Throw his number away. Do it now.

He's married with kids as I am

Go no further.
Only bad things will ensue.

So he’s likely happy to cheat on his wife while away for the week . Lovely. Bin his number op!!

Yes my best friend said bin it I'm just surprised after all these years I still have feelings for him

Your right I just can't stop thinking about him I'm reminiscing about our time together which is stupid 20 years later I need a word with myself

You've forgotten to tell us your reply?

It’s probably just stirred up old feelings , plus you’ve had a drink. I promise nothing good can come of this

This will tempt you constantly and unbearably until you throw that number away in a public litter bin (so you can't retrieve it!)

Will you be telling your husband?

Yes a lot of booze was consumed tonight
My best friend has destroyed the number we're here now

I don't know what's the matter with my my partner is amazing I feel a bit daft

Charming. Throw it away. At least you can have respect for both of your families if he won't.

I'm just surprised after all these years I still have feelings for him

You were together for a decade in your youth - formative, hopefully fun years, before all the adulting and kids and boring life stuff.

It would be more surprising if you felt nothing, tbh!

But it’s nostalgia. That’s all. And you’re not teenagers you’re married people with kids to think about.

Consign the number to the bin.

Sounds like a shitty novel... don't give up your day job too soon. Throw the number away and think of your poor DH.

@nimbuscloud
I can't see the point upsetting my partner nothing actually happend apart from him and I saying hello then him passing me the paper my friend has got rid of

You still look 14? He's a liar as well as a potential cheat.

You did the right thing throwing the number away!

You done the right thing op just try put it out your head now

@myheartskippedabeat the thing is now the old feelings have been stirred it makes no difference if his number has been binned - you can still look him and find him anyway... have you been thinking about him lately or in recent months at all?

OP he wants a quick shag before he goes home to his family, count yourself lucky you escaped and burn the number

Bleh.

@Deedee121
Luckily the op had a friend with her who threw the number away 👍

I haven't really thought about him much at all but it has stirred up old feelings but my bestie has destroyed the number and I don't have social media so I think safe to say I'll just draw a line under it

Stay well away
