Back in my life 18 years after our daughter was born. We're both married and unhappy, so could we possibly work as a couple?

Has this happened to anyone else??

I met a guy 19 years ago. Started to really like him and then fell in love with him. He later told me he was married. I got pregnant and had the baby..knowing he would probably not be involved. Our daughter is now 18 years old.

Last year he asked to come into our lives after all these years. We (me and my daughter) were excited to see him. My daughter gets along well with her long lost dad.

In the process of all this, old feeling were still there for me. I confronted him with my feelings of him not being around, and the fact that I couldn't ignore my feelings for him that never diminished over the years.

I have thought a lot about him over the years. I realized over the years that I have been looking for him all along.

Today we are both in our second marriages and equally not to happy. This has been the case before we met each other (again).

We live in different states. About 8-10 hr. driving time. He is originally from the state I live in.

We are working on getting together.

So basically what I am wondering is..Has this happened to anyone else?? If so, what happened??

Has anyone got back together with a long lost love who happens to be the father of their first born?

Well, I hope he has changed and no longer is a dishonest man who is in it for himself.

Er...wait...nope, he hasn't changed and so it would seem you have taken lessons from his insensitive ways.

You both need to make a decision and fast. No hemming and hawing over this.

You going to give it a go, then tell your spouses and leave them.

Wait for any sexual relations until after you have moved out and had time to deal with the end of your marriages.

Otherwise it is just a means for the both of you to use one another to get over the end of the marriages and you think this will be a healthy and happy start to something meaningful and you will both be wrong.

If you can both not work your marriage difficulties out with those you loved and promised yourselves to one another for time...what makes you honestly believe you can make your relationship work?

Counseling. Get it done. FAST.

you say you've still got feelings for him, but are these feelings for the guy you were in love with 18 years ago or the man he's grown to become? Although you said your unhappy in your marriage, is there no hope of you working things out? Are you feelings for your current husband so insignificant that you can justify ending your marriage for the man who has taken 18 years to get into contact?
