Hi again, all,
For several years now, I have corresponded with my high school sweetheart. We both grew up in impoverished conditions in the coalfields of WV. We were unique in our circumstances, and gravitated to each other from the 7th grade onwards. He eventually went off to Harvard, and is now a mediation lawyer and judge, living in Boston.
We had maintained a sort of relationship thoughout our college years, while attending different schools. I married someone who reminded me, at least intitally, in a physical way, of him. He confided to a mutual friend of ours that he had chosen to marry his wife because she looked like me.
Anyway, during the past ten years or so, we have had sporadic contact. Now, his contact with me is daily, several emails a day as well as mine to him.
He has "nursed" me thru my latest attempt at a relationship, about which I have posted here (with the Psychology Ph.D.), with compassion and without judgment at my reckless behavior.
Over the weekend, while visiting my daughter and her family in Louisville, I was reading and answering an email from him, and my daughter, once again, voiced her disapproval at my communication with him, because he is married.
On one basic level, I know my daughter is right. She said she would be "livid" if her husband was communicating with an old flame ....daily.
But on another level, he and I do have a very strong bond from our backgrounds. He says his wife also has continued contact with old flames, and neither of them are bothered by it. At the same time, I know he is fairly content, and has no intentions of ever divorcing her. Because of this, I have tried to maintain a friendly association. Still, he emails me several times a day, telling me his schedule, etc., and even says he loves me as I do also to him.
I met his wife a couple of summers ago when they were in my area for his family reunion. They arrived at my house, and after a brief time, she excused herself and left him with me for the afternoon. I thought that was very gracious of her. He and I had a little time here at my home talking, and then we went to dinner.

He is scheduled to, once again, be in my area in October for a mediation hearing with a labor group. We will get to visit again. We plan on going to dinner.

I want to know from anyone here on the forum, if you see "wrong" in this. Your thoughts appreciated.
