writes:I had dinner with my ex from 25 years ago. We had such a great time. He sent me an email afterwards saying what a great time he had and asking if we can have dinner again in the near future. He is dating someone on and off but did say he wants to meet someone else. He knows I am married and I can't stop thinking that perhaps there is more to life than what I presently have. I wish he hadn't complimented me in the email or maybe I wouldn't think I'm missing out.Any thoughts?

 I'd like to add something. We all miss out on things in life. It isn't a bowl of cherries and we don't get everything we want. What arae you missing and how have you tried to fix the problem? Here's a scenario....
you leave your husband for this old flame
guess what, he leaves the toilet seat up too and his whiskers in the sink
he likes to lay around on Sunday and watch sports
so...you leave guy number two for guy number three
believe it or not, he leaves the toilet seat up and...he doesn't flush
no whiskers in the sink though because he doesn't bother to shave since he lost his job
Nothing is perfect and you're trying to fix your problems by creating more problems in your life. Example, I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe I should go and have an affair behind my husbands back and ruin the lives of a few people. WE could go to court, split our assets, destroy our kids, pay the lawyers a hefty sum and go our separae ways. That sounds like a great idea. By the way, that's how it unfolds.

Maybe it will feel good for a while, but long term? Doubtful.

Are you crazy? No really! This is a ridiculous question. Of course you SHOULD NOT see him again. Are you trying to convince yourself that some off the cuff compliment is worth your marriage? I'm being blunt because you're on the verge of doing something stupid. Does your husband know you went out for dinner. If he does, I bet you sold him the idea based on "just seeing an old friend". You're making a huge mistake and sullying your name and integrity.
