[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Female- Happily married for 16 yrs. I plan to reach out to my ex bf when I go back home to visit. Haven't seen him 16 years, haven't talked in 6.

I have seen his parents a couple of times when I have gone back home, having dinner with them, my kids and DH.

My ex bf married a bit of a nut, it sounds like unfortunately and she is jealous even of his family (per his mum). So I wasn't surprised when I reached out to him 6 yrs ago to see if he and his DW wanted to have dinner/hang out with us and he said he'd check with her and I didn't hear back.

He was a really sweet guy and I hope he's having a great life. We dated for 12 years so we were really good friends but I knew something else was out there for me and then I met DH. I really just want to say hi/thank him for being a great guy. As my daughters and son grow up I really think about him a lot in terms of "He was a wonderful first love. I hope they find people in their lives who were as wonderful/amazing/trustworthy and as caring with their hearts".[/quote]

I think this is nice that you have such good feelings towards but, tbh, I can't imagine asking my husband to hang out with my ex boyfriend and my ex boyfriend's wife.  That just seems so incredibly....awkward.....no matter how great you think your ex was/is.  I don't think I'd want to hang out with one of dh's ex girlfriends, either.[/quote]

Then we are definitely different people. It’s not important enough to me to have forced it if my husband did not like the idea, but he had no issue. Likewise, I get a kick out of running into anyone who used to be a part of his life. I dated this guy from high school on, so his parents were really like parents to me. Interestingly, I told DH how much his parents reminded me of my ex-boyfriend’s parents and then when he met them he completely agreed. Just really kind, fun, positive people. DH had a couple relationships that did not end well so he cringes at the thought of spending any time with those exes. And I totally get that.[/quote]
