Reply #14: Maybe it's a function of the fact that my former loves were so long ago.

[NNadir]

I can't say I've ever run into an old lover but I've been married for over 20 years, and living with my wife for 21 years. (I was chasing her for two years before that.)

I sort of remember my former loves, but I'm not perfectly sure I would even recognize one of them now, let alone have special feelings for them. The funny thing is that I remember my first moments with my wife perfectly.

To the extent that I remember my previous loves at all, I remember them as perfectly nice people, but they have no real meaning beyond that for me. I'm sure they are very different people than they were when I knew them, just as I am different. To tell you the truth, if I did run into one of them by accident, and I did recognize one them, I'm not sure I would even approach them.

But again, that's just me. What makes the world exciting is that everyone is different.
