My husband and I met when I was 16 and he was 19. We dated for 3 years. Then we just stopped. No break-up. Neither of us knows why. 17 years later we found each other again. Both of us had married. Both of us were separated from our spouses. We've been back together 24 years. He is my world. My first love. My last love.

I love the pictures of them when they were young, such a good looking couple. Imagine seeing themselves at that age and still feeling that young love. That's true love right there ❤️ may they have many more years together!

Rudy Giuliani’s ex-wife Donna Hanover wrote an entire book about this phenomenon of widows and divorced people getting back with a HS or college BF/GF later in life.

I wish the story would have shown and explained how he actually found her. If they hadn’t seen each other for 60 years, how did he track her down and k ew where she lived?

That was what J. Lo thought was going to happen when she married Ben.

Awww, that is such a sweet story!

I missed out on a wonderful boy. My fault 100%. We dated in high school. There is no doubt that he would would have been a good husband. Mother could tell he loved me, I couldn't tell if he was serious and let another guy creep in. Literally!


All I know about him is that he lives in the Boise, Idaho areaand is married to a woman named Jean. Because of his personality being so sweet back then I can't imagine he changed very much, Jean is one blessed lady. 😊

Over a ring. Wow. How shallow. I'm glad they found each other again when they both are mature.

Will CBS do a follow up story when they divorce in a year?
