Jaide,
Interesting that you posted in my thread about this man, since I had ceased writing about it some time ago. Coincidence, maybe, but I did receive an unsolicted email from him yesterday sayng only that "I still love you and miss you." and a poem attached. Though I had promised myself if I ever heard from him again, I would not respond, having felt shame and anger at the past 10 years of emails between us, I responded immediately to say how happy I was to hear from him, adding that I hoped he and his family were well. I do respect the fact that he is married, and I have always written to him with this as a restraint and respect. He responded only to say that he was going out to lunch, but would write later as he had much to say to me. I have rec'd no further messages. I have learned not to "hold my breath" now regarding communication from him, though, in the past, I've relied on this as a form of emotional fulfillment.
HE"S the one who's married, not me. I do not share with him any kind of romantic love messages because of this.
