[quote=Anonymous]An ex-boyfriend and I run in the same professional circle and very recently ran into each other at a professional event. He texted me a few days later and we ended up grabbing a coffee one day.

Our breakup was pretty messy (personally, not professionally - he ended up marrying the woman he was cheating on me with) and I think he wanted to make amends. Both of us are married, his wife just had their first child.

It was bittersweet to catch up. He was definitely the first person I loved and to be honest, I think a small part of me will always care for him. I’ve long said that he did something crappy, but that doesn’t mean he’s a crappy person, and our coffee solidified that feeling. He reached out again about a week later and I didn’t respond. I’m happily married and wouldn’t think my husband would be thrilled about us having a friendship and there will always be a lot of pain and hurt associated with the entire relationship and TBH, I don’t see anything good coming out of us continuing to talk. I wish I could be mature and have a friendship with someone who I spent half a decade with, but maybe the goal posts of maturity have changed for my personal situation and that’s knowing that I shouldn’t even attempt to have him in my life. Who knows?[/quote]
