JAN_is: As some of you know I was celebrating the marriage of my son and his beautiful now wife just last week in Barbados. The wedding on the beach was wonderful, and Barbados simply Paradise. However, another totally unexpected romance evolved during my 2 weeks there....that of my ex husband and I.
We fell in love all over again, though he apparently has never felt able to move on completely since we separated, and has never stopped loving me. It was a bolt from the blue for me, and I realised that I too still loved him. We had been together for many years as the old-timers here know, and the ten years we´ve been apart have flown over. We´ve both changed in many ways of course, but talking and spending time together just revealed how close, and in love we still are.
Our break up was devastating for both of us, yet not for reasons of infidelity or other serious issues, we simply grew apart and felt we were moving in different directions. That makes it all sound rather a flippant decision to split, but sometimes the horror stories we all read here are not the only reasons why couples break up.
I don´t know if there are folk here who have experienced a similar type of break up, or if there is any chance they will get back together, but it can and does happen, as I can happily testify.
It´s not going to be easy, we´re not fools, but we have, and always have had. something very special and we are going to give it our best shot.
I´m extremely optimistic.
I will be deleting my profile here after I´ve read and responded to any responses I may get, and I truly wish you all the best.
I am happy for you and wish you the best. But I for one will truely miss you... May your days be filled with sunshine and happiness.
Dear Jan, This is So Great to Hear, You will be missed here, but hopefully You two will Restore the Marriage Vows in time, and just think the Peace and Joy it will also bring to Your Children...
Jan, I am very happy for you and your ex. Wishing you days of happiness, nights of love and dreams that will unite the two of you again. I will miss you...

Maybe you could renew your friendship Boomy instead of trying to figure out if you have any romantic feelings for him. It doesn't sound like there's a need to rush what you want to do. Take it slow so that he fits into your life and not the other way around. His being in prison is a way of keeping him at a distance but at the same time a way to slowly develop a new relationship.
I have heard of this kind of thing happening successfully before. You are lucky that your friendship was in good enough repair after the divorce to make this possible for you!
I think it is rare & but also great for you. Best wishes

right now Monte Im not even giving him a second thought until I get my results Ive told him not to phone my home again but to send me his address and I will write to him as a friend when I find out which way my life is heading..too much going on in my life just now to analyse my feelings...
