Well… My husband and I were separated. He’s a little behind the times on current technology. (understand, married 24yrs, still friends talked daily, just couldn’t live together). 2yrs ago I finally got his paranoid butt onto Facebook. Now he found his girl from High School and wants a divorce. Since he’s retired military, and I was “only” married to him for 8yrs of his active service, I lose my health insurance as soon as we’re divorced. I don’t even have the option to pay tricare to keep my insurance. Since I have a pre-existing condition, I don’t qualify for regular health insurance. Lol, that’s what I get I guess, for trying to get him caught up.
Wow! This high school thing is really out of hand. I guess they think that if they get back together with these people they will magically turn 18 again. I don’t know. FB sure seems to be dangerous for married people in their mid life years though. I’m sorry to hear about this for you. Take care of yourself and hang in there.
I am beginning to wonder if some of these stories are just that; “stories”. In most stories, the “other person” is a high school friend. I know of no one that goes looking for an old high school friend and I certainly do not put any energy into wanting to see an old female friend from HS that badly. Seems to be the gimmick.
It could be like that, but I honestly think that a lot of people, when unsure and insecure with themselves, will go and do “whatever” to make themselves feel better. My husband looked up an old friend from HS and had an affair with her. And during that affair, he also looked up his old HS girlfriend and tried to get a physical relationship going with her at the same time. And these two women were living only miles away from one another. He has some deep rooted insecurities that has been with him since childhood and I think he was medicating himself by living out past wishes, fantasies and lost opportunities. I’m not excupsing the bad behavior, just trying to understand it.
