HB....I re read you post and what you say is true, soul mates are built through a bond.
The more I think about this, the more it is just so stupid...this women was a girl when they were together, it was a summer romance for god's sake, he was only there for a couple of weeks at a time, and I think this happened over a couple of summers, I don't even think they were intimate!! So why, How can you even consider throwing a 17 yr marriage away for that? One thing is clear to me, is that she is having problems in her M too, who know she may think he is a good catch because he is from the big city and has a good job, but we are broke, and so they certainly wouldn't have the jet set life!
He does need to grow up and stop trying to throw away the good things he has because he thinks thing will be better elsewhere, all he will be doing is trading one set of problems for another. Imagine all the fall out from both families if they did get together! It just boggles my mind
