[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was contacted by an ex a few years ago and was surprised that old feelings flooded back.  I hadn’t given him much thought at all until receiving an online invitation.  I think part of what you are experiencing is pining for your youth, part of it is feeling appreciated by someone when DH might not show much appreciation (dont we all take our souses for granted more than we should?).  I also think it’s more likely you will feel this way if the relationship couldnt come to full fruition (like did distance force you to end things early?) so you were left with that feeling of what if.

I’d first figure out if there is a deficiency in your marriage that needs to be addressed.  You never had to do the “hard stuff” like the mundanity of middle age or changing diapers with said ex.  :-).  [/quote]

Best post on the thread. Humans are great at discounting the value of people that trudge through the mundane with us and overvaluing the past by remembering things much better than they were. [b]*At best, we know and understand half of the truth that is factual [/b]and half of what we remember [b]we may have misperceived[/b]. 
I wonder if women are really aware most of the time a man from the past reaches out there idea of having sex is in his mind. Men always circle back around to familiar territory.
