Today, I talked to my high school sweetheart after 12 years. He confessed that he's been single ever since we broke up, never got over me, and that to this day he loves me dearly. I'm a married mother of two. FML

12 years? He has issues. You probably dodged a bullet because I can see him getting very clingy very fast if you two were still together.

It's nice that he honestly expressed his feelings..but the context is a little inappropriate. Does he know you're married?

There is no D at the end of Azkaban, just a friendly reminder.

1. You are married. Do you not love your husband and try to work in your marriage? Marriage takes work. Or is FUL because he keeps getting in the middle of your marriage and is terrorizing you guys?

or it could be really awkward because he dropped the bomb on her before checking what she has been up to the last 12 yrs and feels uncomfortable about his announcement

Who says they are even having marital issues? You're making a lot of assumptions. For all we know she just happened across him or saw him on FB.

The way OP used the term "high school sweetheart" opposed to "ex from high school" would lead me to believe it is the former rather than the latter

It's a common term rather you still have romantic feelings for them or not.

Stop talking to him!! You have a family and have to put them first. Not to mention, he's either lying or crazy

Block his number and run. 12 years is a long time to be "in love" with somebody. That's really obsessive, and you need space.

Avoid him at all costs & tell your husband. You don't need him destroying your marriage. When my ex of 21 years found out I was widowed he went full blown stalker after me & my son's. I'd tell your coworkers & boss too. be safe!

Cut his chest open and crush his heart like you should have 12 years ago. If he loves you and never bothered to check if you're married or anything since the last 12 years, then he can go **** himself. But have your husband beat his ass first op.

If he hasn't let go it's his problem, he probably needs professional help . Don't blame your self for being healthy and moving on . Maybe reach out to his family to help him or just keep your distance

:/ is, I hope, only a, "why now" response. I hope you're a happy married mother of two.

Seriously, why is everyone so quick to overlook the context of the FML. From the username being that sideways emoji and the wording. It sounds like OP would pursue it if she wasn't married with kids. It's very much a possibility.

I and most people I've spoken to use ":/" to mean they don't know how to respond to something shitty or awkward. I'm not sure why you'd think it means she wants to **** the guy's brains out. ESPECIALLY since he was the one who never got over the breakup. She's just (rightfully) creeped out by the whole thing.

When did I say she wanted to **** his brains out, exactly? She never implied it and I sure as hell didn't.

You said 'It sounds like OP would pursue it' which implies a relationship, which usually involves ******* the other person's brains out, are you typing with your eyes shut or something?

If I were typing with my eyes shut I wouldn't have been able to read your ignorant comment. I'm sorry, but I refuse to believe that wanting to pursue something with someone is solely based on an urge to **** them senseless. Because there is a such a thing as wanting to get to know someone and see where things go without sex involved, idiot.

Nice to see that your only defense is taking one particular part of my comment way too literally. You might want to look up the word "hyperbole" in a dictionary sometime.

Look, the only thing I'm saying is that it could be she's creeped out, it could be she's feeling sorry for the guy or it could be that she wishes things were different. I'm not stating any of those as a fact but we can't exactly rule any of those things out unless OP herself follows up on how this situation actually made her feel.
