I attended my thirtieth high school reunion and ran into a guy I dated my senior year. From what I recall of our relationship we just drifted apart more than broke up. I came to the reunion alone (I'm divorced) he's married and he came with his wife.
After the reunion, I emailed him to let him know how much I enjoyed seeing him and talking over the old days. He responded back that he was glad to see me, too. I answered him, but he did not answer back. I sent the email again and he answered back that he wasn't comfortable continuing the correspondence. He said there was too much reminiscing about what could have happened between us and he was a happily married man.
I want to write him back and tell him there's nothing to worry about and that I was just making conversation. My best friend says I should leave it alone. What do you think?
I agree with your friend - leave it alone. He is telling you doesn't want to walk down memory lane with you because you may be trying to bring the past forward and he's a married guy. If he an upfront kind of guy, he probably wouldn't object to his wife reading his email and yours are making him uncomfortable.
Give the man credit for being forthright and don't answer him - not even to tell him you understand.
