He’s married with child but asking about my life?

[Anonymous]

Hello, About 15 years ago, I worked with a guy and we obviously started liked each other. We went out separate ways but periodically kept in contact with him flirting etc. He got married and cut contact with me. He divorced and then tried to get into contact and started telling mutual friends “i was the one who got away” and anyone who ends up with me is a lucky guy. Anyway I was with someone, my now husband so we stopped talking. He’s now reached out 8 years later, he’s married and with child too. However he’s asking me; How long have you been married? What does your husband do? How old is your child? What do you do? - (said he’s really happy for me that my career has took off) Is this weird or normal? I’m not sure what he’s getting out of knowing this?

He is the kind of guy that is never really satisfied with what he has. You are probably really the one that got away and he seems to regret that fact.

Some people never get over someone that got away. I am not really convinced that he is really happy for you that you are where you are now professionally and with your relationship.

He is seriously unhappy with his own life and where it took him. He is trying to reminisce about the early days and you were part of that time where he was happier.

You have to tell him that what once was should remain where it was and that he should not contact you again because you want to leave the past behind you.

I wouldn't read too much into it. It just sounds like he is being friendly.

The past is the past... things are way different now with kids and husbands. Stay friends if you wish but nothing more

It’s impossible to tell if he’s just being friendly or still has feelings

just showed interest

It's called being friendly. Relax.
