Can love and happiness really exist after being apart for years?

Question - (9 April 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 9 April 2009)
A male United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Dear Cupid, Say you have someone close to you who you love with all your heart. Fate intervenes and you both go your separate ways. Just as unexpectedly as you part, years later you unexpectedly find yourself with that special someone again.

I hear about this type of story all the time and both people say they couldn't be happier and pick up right where they left off. I guess I'm wondering how it can be possible? Maybe I am the ultimate pessimist but in that situation I'd be happy but also sad for all the time we could and should have had together but didn't. What am I missing?

yes it is possible

my mum met her 1st boyfriend when she was 14.. then went out with my Dad for YEARS.. when my dad died, her first boyfriend moved back from London and landed at our door-step

my mum never thought she could love another man again after my dad died until her first boyfriend came back into her life!!! It was probably fate, as no-one would want to be lonely and unhappy

:) dont be sad for the time you missed out on- Be Happy for all the different stages of your life, afterall you have learnt from every mistake or problem to get to the stage you are at now! =) I think fate does exist.

if you are now back together as you both single?

if you both are single, do not then dwell on the past too much. yes time was lost, but there are more years ahead for both of you.

if one of you are attached, problems, problems, problems

you have post a somewhat hypothetical question

sounds like a romantic comedy.

Ok, the key here is not to do what I did though and obsess about this magic reunion happening. If it happens, it happens. But don't expect it to.

And just for the record..I would be ecstatic. Who cares about time lost? Its all about the moment.
