He was 11 years older than me, I know, I know, but it was the 90s, different times.

My dilemma is that I broke up with him very abruptly as I met someone else, of my own age, who went on to become my husband after we'd seen a bit of the world.

I'd been wanting to break up for a while, he was a very kind person and I didn't have the heart to, and so the relationship lasted much longer than it should have.

But I know I broke his heart and he was very much in love with me, wanting to have children, etc.

But the reality was that I was way too young and needed to go and live a bit first.

But I've always regretted not handling the whole thing better.

We've both gone on to have very good lives.

I've had updates over the years when I'm home.

I'm still married to my husband and we have children.

And he married to someone much younger, it's a theme, and has children too.

In all these years, I've only seen him once and that was not long after we broke up and we didn't speak.

Less than a year into my new relationship with my now husband, we moved overseas for a few years and settled in England.

My ex has always been in Ireland.

He wrote to me when I was overseas.

Oh.

Saying if it didn't work out, he'd have me back.

That's nice.

And still love me.

I never responded.

Oh.
