Hello marylin: Thanks for sharing this experience. I guess the one thing I can say is that there are a couple of "young loves" I still muse about periodically in much the same way you're doing... & I'm pushing 70 years old & have been happily married for 38 years! So, to me at least, what you're experiencing seems quite normal.

I see this was your first post here on PC. I'm sorry it has taken us this long to reply. Please forgive us. We're usually better than this. Anyway... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit. May I suggest you introduce yourself over on PC's New Member Introductions forum? Here's a link:
