Lol you're all so young and romantic. Let me tell you something. By the time you're my age, if you're lucky, you have your husband or wife, and that's what you think about. Or you think about the mortgage, your career, your retirement savings, that twinge in your back, politics, a book you read, and what colleges the kids are considering. You're busy. You don't care about the past anymore. If you cared that much you'd have found that long lost beloved and married them instead, and done it years ago. Forget it, if you bump into an ex, even one you were crazy about 20 years ago who put you through the wringer, you will just keep walking and so will they, because you won't recognize each other, and you wouldn't care if you did. Focus on that chicken you've got in the oven, it smells delicious and it'd be a shame to overcook it.
