Mormons don’t have any prohibition against divorce, I think (at least, they have a high divorce rate). If things are so miserable, she should divorce him and marry you! Of course, if something happens to you, I’m sure she can find another “old friend” to connect with. StG ---

I hate to rain on your parade, but this has disaster written all over it. You haven’t talked to her in 45 years and you have feelings this strong? It sounds to me like you either never really got over her, and now you have 45 years of reimagining how great she is. You have this completely fictional version of her in your mind that she has no prayer of living up to, especially 45 years, 8 kids, and a miserable marriage later. It’s quite possible she’s done the same to you, especially if she’s saying those things to you. By all means, if you two want to meet up again, you should, I’d just strongly advise being well aware of this and being careful or you could be in for a great deal of heartbreak. ---

> [@harmonicamoon](#): > > More precisely he is a piece of shit because he created something as beautiful as a woman, gave her pleasure senses, then put her in a situation where she can’t enjoy what he has created. Agreed. God is an a-hole. He created billions of women, with beautifully crafted vaginas, that I’ll never be able to enjoy. ---

You didn’t say why or how it ended, but they’ve had their life together, with kids grown up and gone and she is not happy. Meet for lunch, talk, see if there are still sparks after all of these years. If it’s something she cannot do, yeah, it sucks, but life is too short and getting shorter by the minute, to live with wondering what if and the regrets of not finding out if after all this time it is meant to be.
