Have you ever met up with an old ex?

AIBU to even consider this?!

Haven't seen him for about 13 years. We met at university and he was the best I’ve ever known, if I’m being honest 🤣

I was young, 18, he was about 5 years older and a gorgeous postgrad who I was absolutely smitten with. We had a big of a ‘casual’ relationship but it was very intense. Neither of us were particularly needy at the time but ultimately we were a couple. Neither were seeing anyone else and I always remember him really fondly.

he left after two years to move to another country and we saw each other about 5 times a year for the next few years. Eventually I confessed that I loved him, always had, and had met someone else and abruptly broke it off. Didn’t have contact again.

i have separated amicably from my daughters father after 13 years together. I really am not looking for a new relationship.
long story short, he sent me a message out of the blue through a professional website. We’ve been chatting and he’s suggested meeting up. He’s not married. There’s no suggestion of anything, it’s a catch up drink.

Just the thought of him makes my heart skip a beat and I am SO curious to see what he’s like now. But my god, I’m not 20 anymore 🤣 it shouldn’t, but the thought fills me with panic. I’m about 2 stone heavier now.

I suppose I’m now madly curious to know what it’s actually like to meet up with an old flame from the past. What happened? What was it actually LIKE?!

I should add, we weren’t strictly ‘together’, we both played it a bit cool but I reached a point where I wanted more than this.

I did we dated in our early twenties. He got in touch through SM 25 years later. We met for lunch and we've been in a relationship ever since.

That’s such a lovely story. Was he as you remembered?!

I occasionally meet up with an ex when he's back in the country (he now lives abroad). It's fine, we talk, have lunch and that is it. He is most definitely an ex!

I'd meet up with your old friend if I were you. Can't do any harm can it?

Yes he was, it didn't feel like we'd been apart all that time.
Are you going to meet up with your ex?

I did. We dated at university 21 years ago! When I became single last year I asked him out for a coffee (he was single too) and we've been together since.

a friend of mine was widowed after a very happy and long marriage - she met up with her old boyfriend from 6th form when she was back in her home town for a family event - he got in touch with her. They have now been married for over 10yrs and seem very happy (he was divorced). Both have children and g children.

Fascinating how many people actually ended up with their exes.

im not looking for anything to happen but I think I will meet him.
