You should be happy your husband is your dear friend as well. Don't expect it would be better with ex. I bet you and him changed in 8 years. Plus if you divorced, you would hurt your kids (tragic), your husband (sad) and yourself (youd don't think that yet). Try to work on your marriage. Spice it up a little if "deer friend" is not enough. And do you think your husband is happy? There is no easy relationship. Divorce maybe looks easy but is not. I am nearly 8 years married, with two kids, and not happy... I wish my husband was my dear friend. But think positive.....

Dear Babygirl:

In 1992 I fell in love with a man that was getting divorced, I was 27 and he was 35. Then we haven´t seen each other since. I got married in 1996 and still think of my old love. In 2002 my aunt told me that my old love said that why I didn´t waited for him. All this years I have been asking that same question! Should I divorce my former husband to maybe look for my old love? Ask your soul that! Wishing you the best!

eyeswideopen agony auntWell I guess in light of what you have told me you will just have to decide whether you want to divorce your husband in order to pursue the old boyfriend. If you do not want to work on your marriage then end it before you begin a new relationship. Be sure you do that in that order so as to show you have class and personal integrity. Your husband and children deserve that. Once you are free from your marriage then call up the boyfriend and see where it takes you. Think long and hard before you decide, Good luck.

babygirl73 is verified as being by the original poster of the question

we split up because he was going off to college. I thought I did love my husband but the reason we got married was because I was having his child. I was told by my exs brother that him and his wofe split up because he kept comparing her to me and talking about our past with her all the time.

eyeswideopen agony auntWhat caused you to split up with your "true love" years ago? Did you love your husband more than "a very deer friend" when you married him? If not, why did you marry him? How do you know that the guy from you past still loves you if all he has done is ask about you?
