An Old Flame Rekindled

Usually, I write a lot of tongue in cheek nonsense. However, this post  pertains to an event currently happening.

Prior to my current marriage to my lovely wife, who I adore, I was married to another woman for almost twenty years. In fact, we have a quarter of a century of history. Five years ago, we divorced quite amicably. There were a number of reasons for this.The main one being that we lived and worked together in our various businesses. We were with each other 24/7 with no time apart to rest and relax away from each other. . This continued for our entire marriage.

Over time, this situation caused the deterioration of our relationship. Even though we loved each other, we often couldn't stand not having our own space, leading to a lot of fault finding with each other, resulting in our divorce.

Five years on, I'm very happily remarried and my ex wife has a permanent partner, whom she is happy with.

Recently, we came in contact with one another, due to my ex wife's desire to see the dogs that we had as pets, when we were together. I had no problem with this so she visited my home. Coincidently, and it was a coincidence, my wife was overseas, attending her daughter's wedding at that time.

When my ex arrived, it was as if we had never been apart. What was intended to be a short visit turned into four hours of happy, natural conversation, catching up on what had happened in our lives over the last five years. Was their sexual tension? Yes, there was. Did anything happen? No it didn't and nor will it. We both love our current partners and will never do anything to hurt them.

So, what is the outcome of all of this? I have rediscovered my ex wife. We both still love each other, but not as lovers. We will keep in contact and have I am happy to have her as a trusted friend and confidant forever. Fortunately, she feels the same way.

Ain't life grand?
