Our first love is often a lasting love as you are experiencing.

While the glow of finding long-lost love is very enjoyable, one has to examine it seriously--which is what you are doing. Consider these both for you and your ex:

Children: what about the hurt and potential estrangement?

Family: same thing.

Friends: count on losing at least half your friends.

Finances: this is a big consideration. Think about it very hard.

Religion: is this a major concern for either of you?

Duration: are you absolutely positive that you and your ex will survive together? What a waste if you don't.

Finally: You say your husband and you have drifted apart. Isn't it time now, before making such a drastic decision, to go to marriage counselling? You may discover your marriage is worth saving and discover how to do it. Same goes for your ex. You are contemplating a life-changing decision and it should be worth while for everyone to at least think about it with a trained professional.

If it turns out to be divorce, at least you gave it a try.

Good luck! George
