We are going on five years this month, but have known each other since I was 16 and he was 17. High school sweethearts then Viet Nam, engaged, college, and then after all that...we ended up going in different directions. Went on to marry other people. I've been married 30 years with two children; he's been married 28 years with two. We each have a high schooler and a college student.
We deeply love each other and this is the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life. We just can't/won't step over all the bodies left in the wake of a divorce...so I doubt we will ever be together.
I have a SO, but is not M. We've been together 14 years. I have an adult son from a previous M. AP is M and has 4 kids, 14 and under. I'm 52, four months older than AP. Long story, but he is my former BF/SO/AP, we broke up almost 15 years ago. He moved across the world, we reconnected as "just friends" 7-8 years ago when he sent me an e-mail out of the blue....and we have e-mailed regularly since then. They moved back two years ago. Didn't meet in person until February last year (he wanted to several times but I was scared) and the moment we laid eyes on each other there was no doubt - we still love each other. We are in an LDA - live 594 miles apart. And if that's not enough he works abroad - on a different continent 3-5 weeks turns. We keep in touch by phone and e-mail. We've had some great rendezvous', and are deeply in love. I don't expect him to leave his W and kids for me. He doesn't expect me to leave SO for him. There are also too many practial obstacles due to distance and work. But no one knows what the future brings.....
