Do you still think about your highschool crush even when you're already married?

I am guilty. I have a happy marriage, my husband is the most supportive, the most thoughtful and the most understanding husband in the world. He is handsome, in fact, I have problems with some girls flirting on him. But last night, a familiar face visited the school where I am working, he was my high school crush. Since then, thoughts about what-if's linger in my mind. I can't help it. But I'll be honest, it gives me pleasure to think about my past and thought of things I could possibly do in order to have him. Do you also do the same? Am I a really bad wife?

of course i think about them ,actually its a part of you that you cannot let go because who have you met and what have you done in your younger years makes you who you are right now

I like the idea about we become who we are because of the people we meet everyday. I just hope I don't get too lost in this illusion... I just felt like I am betraying my husband... for being physically present but mentally away. I hope this will soon end.

ohh i just think that maybe when you saw him past feelings for him came across. maybe you really loved him before and he was your biggest love so seeing him now made you think what could had happened between you and him ^^ anyway if you say it gives pleasure to you to think about that is bcs even your hubby is so sweet you are not totally happy with this life or when you saw your crush you wouldnt feel so so happy. remember things maybe but being so so happy is not very normal. about me i really did love my ex so much and then i stopped love him and thats why we broke up bcs he was so careless and later on he wanted me back and i didnt accept him bcs i felt nothing anymore for him. and if he chats with me or not is not really important to me now^^ i feel nothing for him. so if you still think about past is bcs not everything, mostly feelings, are not completely forgotten. so think well whats the best for you to do ^^ if need some advises im here^^

Hmmmn... I don't know if it is right to say that I am no longer happy with my husband. That is the reason why I found some realities in fairy tales, I had a discussion about that here http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2395121.aspx

I feel true love happens once and rest all depends on oneself. Love your husband unconditionally.

Theres no reason to feel guilty about that. Its completely normal to have that "what if" in the back of your mind after seeing your high school crush. I am sure your husband has done the same thing.. whether he admits to it or not is another story lol. I have done the same thing. I am still young and engaged, but still really good friends with my ex-boyfriend. We have known each other for close to 12 years and were very good friends before we dated. And there comes a time where I will stop and think to myself, "I wonder what would have happened if we were still together, would we be the ones that were engaged, or would it even last" Then I look at the man I am with now.. and I understand why I am with him and not my ex-boyfriend. My man is amazing... he makes me feel like being a better person and changed my option on love. Made me look at it in a different way. My ex-boyfriend, well hes a really good man but I know it wouldn't last. Mainly because we have been friends for so long, you can't force a friendship to become something more.. So bottom line is.. its okay to have those thoughts from time-to-time, as long as you don't act on those feelings you once had for that person. Hope this helps!!!

Well I have to admit that I do as well as you. I'm in a long term relationship but still can't help myself thinking back to a girl that I let go. Maybe if I didn't things would be different now is one of things I think about often. Oh well nothing I can do about it now but move on and remember the good times I had with her.
