My Husband Is Back!

I was sitting here today minding my own business, when who should stroll in but my long-lost husband ( @Valkerion ). He says that he was away building his career, so that he can better provide for the kids and I. It has been a long time since I have heard from him, so I am not so sure that his motives were that pure, but I guess that I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
So, have you reconnected with anyone lately? Do you get excited when you hear from old friends? Do you wonder where your spouse could be when he (or she) disappears for years at a time? Do you think that I am crazy and wonder what I am talking about?
Please have fun and discuss amongst yourselves until I get back and can respond to you. I think that I might be gone for a while as we have a lot of lost time to make up for.

If you knew me at all, you would know for sure it is "not" ... well at least sort-of not!
He is a really good friend from here that I lost touch with a while back. I actually do not remember how it started that we said we were married, but it took on a life of its own. Then we started having kids (on here, of course), and then all of a sudden he disappeared from the site. We talked a bit after he left here, but then we lost touch altogether. It was wonderful hearing from him again, and I hope he is back to stay for a while.
Have you ever lost touch with anyone, especially online, and then had them show up after a couple years?14 people like this

@jaboUK Yes, I do like to have fun, and when in doubt, it is generally safe to assume that I am joking/playing.
I have actually lost touch with a few friends over the years (not online). I have been pleasantly surprised when they have called me out of the blue or I have bumped into them while I was out. We just picked up again like we had been talking the whole time.

@purplealabaster Thanks for explaining, but you do see how I wasn't sure, as I didn't know your history? From what I have seen of you I do know that you like a bit of fun.
I've only been online for a couple of years (never used a computer at all before that), so no, I've not lost touch with anyone like that online.

@jstory07 My parents are the same way. Every once in a while my dad will disappear, but my mom knows that she can usually find him hiding in his workshop ... that is if she really wanted to find him.

@rebelann At his age, I would think that he would be practicing all the time, even if he had to practice with himself.

TT ( @TexanTornado ) has not been around since before Christmas. I miss her, too, and DE and I were also wondering where she has disappeared to. At least I know that she is not holed up with my husband somewhere, especially since my sister and my husband being together would be all sorts of wrong!

Does that mean that you are "off the hook"?
Yes, I do realize that was a corny pun, but I am in one of those moods at the moment.

I knew you had "sisters" here, but now I see that your "husband" is back - I think I've just about met your whole family here on myLot!
Oh yah, I had a "cousin" and we used to call each other "Coz" at the other site - but he got PO'd at the site and didn't come back. It's been a while, maybe half a year, but we finally reconnected here. And it seems he's disappeared again!
I'm glad you posted because our myLot paths haven't crossed in a long while . . . I missed you! 
I can't imagine Hubby disappearing like that. We'd probably agree that more than likely I would be the one disappearing first - ha ha!
Well happy reunion!5 people like this

Our paths probably haven't crossed, because I haven't been here much except for this past weekend. I was absent a lot before Christmas, and then I wasn't here at all for a couple weeks over the Christmas and New Year break.
If my husband offline disappeared like that, then I would be unstoppable until I found him. It is more difficult to find online husbands, though, especially when they live on a different continent.

@much2say There are always certain people that I look for online be it going to their discussions, checking out their profile page or looking for them in the comment section of other discussions. You are one of the ones that I always look for in the comments, because that is where I tend to see you the most.

I can imagine how hard it is finding online husbands - disappearing for years is such a long wait. I suppose there is a more understanding of the difficulties of online marriages 
It's just been busy all around - life never stops! I've been here, but not consistently - and I can't always get to everyone here with my limited time. Oh but it is certainly nice to see your purple presence again!

I spoke to both your husbands on a thread far back in time today, PA. I was curious when you got married the second time on myLot and why you got married the second time.
I've never left any site without trying to find a way to stay in touch with those I had come to care about... I still email many of them from both Bubbs and WA. They still get in touch with me.

LOL - I am glad that you took the time to read the comments! I like to do that from time to time ... make people wonder and hopefully get them to read through the comments and responses. Hopefully they will find other places where they can interact, which gets people more involved and not only increases the fun and conversation but also increases the earnings.

He is actually my myLot husband, which is not a legally binding agreement unless we are on here.
There are a bunch of us that have been on this site for years. It is like one big family, so over the years some of us have married, divorced, had kids, etc. It is all just fun and games, but we really start to know each other so well that it feels like family. He is one of the ones that I have talked with when we were not on myLot, but we lost touch a couple years back. It is wonderful hearing from him again.

I am glad that I could make you laugh! Yes, we had a great time catching up both on the boards and in PMs. It really does feel like a long-lost member of my family has come home again.
Have you ever lost touch with a friend and then reconnected with him or her after an extended period of time?

Unfortunately it is true that real life often overrides myLot life. It is also sad but true that many times myLot life is more fun than real life.
Oh my goodness, if it had been real life, though, you would not have had to tell me to dump his sorry butt, because he wouldn't have a butt left to dump after I had gotten through with him.

The worst part about it is that it is not the first time that he has disappeared like that on me. Fortunately, we are just cyber-married on myLot, so I think that is more easily forgiven than being married offline. If my offline husband did that to me ... well, let's just not even go there.

@missjessicadawn It is someone that I have known for a lot of years on here. Through our interactions over the years, we somehow became "married" on here. He left the site a few years ago. I could still contact him through e-mail, but then I lost his e-mail address. A mutual friend contacted him and got him to come back and play on here the other day.

I would agree with you if it was an offline romance and love affair. However, we were married on myLot, so I think that gives him a little more leeway on the matter.
When you have been on this site for as many years as I have (over seven years now), you start thinking of people as family rather than just online friends. I am not sure how or when exactly it happened, but somewhere along the line Val and I got married on here, and then he disappeared for a few years. I used to be able to contact him via e-mail, but I lost his contact information a while back, so I haven't talked with him in too long. It was wonderful hearing from him again after so much time!
