[quote=Anonymous]I do.

College boyfriend.  We had such insane chemistry: mentally, physically, etc.  But I was in no place to commit to a long term relationship at age 21.  So we broke up, dated other people.  Both got married.  He actually married very young (the next person after me).  I dated around for years, had fun, sewed my wild oats, married at 30.  I'm now 48.  3 kids; decent marriage. 
I was just cleaning my closets in preparation for a move and came across boxes of everything from my teens and 20's: letters and notes and programs and ticket stubs.  I saved everything. Remember writing letters?  I have hundreds from those years--from friends, boyfriends, my parents, grandparents. Sigh.  The internet has ruined all of that.

I read through dozens from the old boyfriend. I don't think anyone has ever understood me like he did.  Wow.  It is weird to think that he still walks this earth.  I know where he lives (hours and hours from me) but I will not reach out to him.  I will also not throw out the letters.  They remind me of a person I used to be.  When I was young and beautiful and interesting.  So for that reason I will never throw them out.  Meanwhile I remain committed to my husband and children.

Do you have someone similar?  [/quote]
