My son from my first love turns 40 on November 2nd. Out of the blue, his great Uncle who married us, posted on my sons facebook. Happy Birthday great nephew. I married your Mom and Dad 40 yrs ago......I wrote back and told him what a nice ceremony it was, that we were just young and knew it all. I thought my son knew that, he didnt.
Anyway, my first love turns 60 on the day after my son turns 40. He was begging me to hold out for 3 more hours so they would have the same birthday. After 12 hrs in labor with my baby boy, I wanted to choke him, but back then men were not allowed in the labor room, only sporadically. So he lived.
They are having a get together to celebrate. I am invited but cant make the trip, so I will say Happy Birthday to both via the phone.

We have been FB messaging back and forth for the last few weeks. Yesterday, we had a long telephone conversation where I told her that I have never gotten over her. She cautiously inferred the same about me. My heart is telling me to move forward with starting a relationship with her, but my conscience tells me to get it out of my head and don't let my wife find out.
The biggest problem is that I have been telling myself that I would give up everything for her if I ever had the opportunity. That is meant figuratively, but the point is that I have remained in love with this woman for 30 something years and I sense that I could be happy with her forever. I am not happy now and haven't been for a long time.

She wants to take it slow, but she hasn't gotten over me either.
We've talked about a life together and i feel certain it will happen because it was always meant to be.
I love this woman so deeply and have for so long. She hasn't said it yet, but she loves me too.
We talk twice a week and text every day.
