Want to interpret?

[wonder]

Tell me what you think of this email conversation.

HIM: Thank you for coming to our event. Its good to see you happy. I know our lives were intertwined for a long time and with the way things ended, it was heartwarming to see you.

HER: Thanks. It was good to see you and your family too. I am happy for you and your wife. She is lucky to have you. I know that when you love someone it is deeply and forever.

HIM: You're very correct. My love does last forever...

(I know this is pathetic and transparent of me. I don't care. Just tell me what you think, please.)

I think you're looking for something you shouldn't be looking for.

I'm not the "HER" in this convo, if thats what you think.

Oh no.

[alzi]

She is done. He may not be. Either way I want to yell "abort! Abort!"

[CurlyQ284]

What a weird conversation. It sounds like a bad Nicholas Sparks line.

I don't care; doesn't change my opinion. YOu said "this is transparent of me," so I assumed you were the she.

My fault. I thought it would be transparent that I'm the lucky wife.

[snipsnsnails]

You need to have a talk with HIM. He's flirting...with danger.

In that case, I would say the mister has some splainin to do.

Sorry!

[anastasiabeaverhause]

I think that they are both flirting w/ disaster and like what JJ said, "what could have beens"

I think he's kind of clueless and enjoying the obvious adoration. If you can, nip it in the bid now. Is this all of the conversation. Are the ellipses his or your addition?

His.

[ECB]

Yeah... come-to-Jesus time. That's a weird conversation and seems to be looking for something.

I thought maybe she was the guys wife, OP I mean.

[lissaholly]

I'm sorry. This whole conversation seems to be a feel-out, with both parties being game to an affair;(. I hope I am wrong.

Agreed, both people sound creepy.

what does he mean "with the way things ended"??

i'm sorry.

More importantly what does he mean "my love does last forever"?

[celeste]

Honestly, it sounds like there was a past flirtation (or more). She sounds like she has moved on. He sounds like he is still fishing or at the very least, making his residual feelings for her known. I'm sorry . Sounds like it's time for a talk.

Yeah, I'd have a come-to-Jesus talk. How did you happen upon this exchange? B/c I'm assuming you were snooping for a reason.

I signed in to his FB. And the reason is he's flirted on FB before. Got caught, told me it was just a stupid thing he did to feed his ego, he was sorry. Blocked the other person and told me he was going to work on us reconnecting.

I'm asuming he's saying he still loves her. I came here to see if other people would see that too, or if I was crazy. Why I thought it could be the latter, I don't know.

[emptygee]

She is trying to confirm that he still loves her and he is confirming.

I don't know. I wasn't aware they had dated. Or whatever the hell "our lives were intertwined" means. He doesn't talk like that. He's trying to impress her.

i know that grown up people are supposed to calmly assess such email exchanges and think of plausible, non-romantic explanations, but i, personally, would flip my everloving shit to see an email like that to/from my husband. especially if i had no idea that he and this person had "intertwined" lives before.

flip.my.everloving.shit.

i am not mature.

[juliagoulia]

sorry. That's a crappy thing to see.

And also- they're both corny.

[Deleted]

Sure does sound like he's saying he still has love for this person to me.

[cuddlyevil]

It sounds like they're both on fishing expeditions.

This needs to be discussed as soon as possible because it's pretty shady, especially given your update.

same.

OP, to me, it reads like he is very strongly implying he still loves her, but he wants an out (in the way that he worded it) if she says to back off, or if you find it.

how long ago were these messages exchanged? meaning, is she ignoring him and hasn't replied for weeks, or is it possible she might still respond?

[Deleted]

this is bad news. I'm sorry.

how DO they know each other? did they work together? college? grow up in the same town?

I was told they grew up in the same neighborhood and went to school together through high school and kept in touch. She now lives 100 miles away with her husband and two kids.

The whole thing is weird.

The messages were exchanged a week and a half ago. I think she is ignoring his last part. Not that it makes it any better on his end.

This makes me sad. I guess I'd ask him what's going on. Ugh.
