Possible Affair Potential?
I’ve been married for almost 25 years, and I want to have an affair if there’s a connection with someone from my past. We’ve been friends on social media for several years but never talked much. Just liking each others. posts I found a few old pictures of us from when we were 18 and dated for a couple of months. I sent them with no real intentions, since I was also sending old pictures to several friends from my past.
We started talking a bit over the past few weeks. Nothing emotional or too deep, and not about our marriages beyond a slight mention that we’re both married. He’s been married for about the same length of time. He casually mentioned getting together to hike and, a couple of other times, said we should do this or that, or offered to do something with me. He never directly asked or mentioned a specific date.
I finally directly asked if he wanted to get together in a few weeks when I’m available, and he said, “Sounds like a plan.” When we first started talking again, he mentioned that he was crazy about me when we were kids. I abruptly ended things and ghosted him back then for no real reason other than being young.
Is he wanting to catch up and see what I’m like now? Is he interested in the possibility of something happening? Maybe he won’t follow through at all. I’ve never cheated or even come close. My marriage feels more like a roommate situation. We aren’t emotionally connected at all and mostly live separate lives while raising our kids together. He doesn’t have kids, and I have no idea what his marriage is like. I don’t think he’s the type to have an affair, but then again, neither am I. I want excitement and an emotional connection. I forgot what that all feels like and just from talking to him I’m starting to remember.
I guess I’m just looking for some feedback.
