She's got to figure things out for herself and, if she leaves her husband, she's going to have to do some healing and continued therapy. The best is yet to difference. Yours might be the best hand to give to her, but pray about what kind of hand you want it to be; one in brotherhood and fellowship, or one with 'strings'. What kind of career or education do you want, for example. Examine any social patterns. After grieving, try to move forward.

Dear Duana— I fell hard for my first love. We met in 6th grade and dated for about a year and a half. Even after he moved, we tried to stay together. So—am I just fantasizing about my first love during a tough time in the current relationship, or was that love real? Should I pursue it? If so, quit communicating with your first love and focus all your energy on this one. Which means you are still free to make the best decision for yourself. As science would have it, the best decision could well be returning to your first love. In fact, , expert on reunited relationships and author of a research-based book, , has interviewed hundreds of lovers who re-established contact with a former flame. Although a few re-connections crash and burn, almost 80% of rekindled first loves—if single at the time of the re-kindling! And they were young—typically under age 17, and sometimes even children—when they first fell in love. Although nobody knows why such youthful love can be so powerful, Kalish realizes this is not—as parents often and insultingly say—puppy love. It appears that this tender point of our development may lead some people into a form of emotional bonding that sets the ideal. Or maybe some just get really lucky and meet a great mate early on. Or maybe the kids we grow up with tend to share a lot of aspects of our own background—money, religion, education, etc. Whatever the reason, young love can be very real love. I think if we could have been left alone then, we would have stayed together. The rekindlers did not choose to go back to incompatible lovers. In hindsight, they saw that the relationship was, in fact, irreplaceable. It tended to be the one to which all later relationships were unfavorably compared. And the intensity of the reconnection was felt even in the rare instances when it was not expressed. If you do, the research would suggest that you and he have a great shot at being right for one another, and blissfully happy together. Whatever choice you make—I wish you well.

We are very comfortable with each other, and nothing more is involved than sharing our lives and thoughts. As I believe the theory of reincarnation has some validity, it seems obvious to me that we have been close before. There is a connection, but it is absolutely no threat to our relationships with my beloved husband or his beloved wife. Here's a good question? Would rekindling also would be affected by the status in life that the parties are in? Love could be amplified at this point. No move ahead 20 years. Both have reunited in a lunch meeting. What if one has been involved in physical fitness and the other is habitually hooked on cigarettes and alcohol. What if one has done jail time and the other is a respected Mayor of a city? I know attractive is a relative term but you get what I mean? I would guess that both people would have had to been able to maintain basic attributes that allowed the romance to flourish. Kindness, youthfulness more like health , fearlessness, tolerance, etc.... I am 42 and have recently rekindled with my boyfriend from when I was 13, after 27 years of no contact. What innocently started as his call to see how my life had turned out, very quickly escalated to us falling in love again just by email and telephone communication. We reunited after 6 weeks and the intensity and the connection is so powerful we are both now inseparable. Amazingly we are both so alike in tastes, attributes, attitudes,and principles that it is remarkable that we have lived separate lives for most of our lives. Reading this post just helped reinforce for me just what a significant phenomena rekindling is!
