A woman who has recently refound a man she dated as a teenager wants to know if it's already to split him up from his wife so they can start going out again. The unnamed woman wrote to Agony Aunt Fiona Caine for Advice.
She wrote: "Back when I was 19, I went out with a guy I really liked. For reasons I can’t remember, we split up and went our separate ways. Seven years on, I have just met him again and it has brought back all the old feelings. I think I still love him.
"Unfortunately, he’s married and has two children. I really want to be with him again, so I have thought about going to see his wife and telling her that he is seeing me on the side. Hopefully, it will make her want to leave and I can then be with him and his family. Do you think it will work?"
Fiona replied:
"I am seldom shocked, but you’ve managed it. Are you seriously expecting me to help you break up a family? Well, it’s not happening young lady.
"You had your chance with this man seven years ago, so now is the time to think if him as ‘the one who got away’ – and move on with your life. Look for love elsewhere, with someone who is free to return it.
"Please do not approach his wife. To do so would simply be spiteful, and it won’t work anyway. Wreck this man’s family and I guarantee he’ll never forgive you."
