Cooincidence or fate?
Now I have always been the guy that believes there is a reason everything happens, not everything happens for a reason. But this is weird.
I dated this girl my senior year in HS and my freshman year in college. 2.5 years total. We had a great relationship but I ended it because I was young and just wanted to be single entering my 20's. Fast forward to 10 years later. I have become recently single and haven't heard from or seen my HS ex in 10 years. Than just weeks after my ex and I broke up I was looking around on myspace and my HS ex popped into my head. So I looked around and tried to see if she had a page and she didn't. Then later that night, I get on myspace again and I have a friend request from her, and I am her second friend so I know she must have just made her page. So we get to talking over the next few days and I find out that she is married but things aren't going well and even though they have tried counseling, it isn't working. She says that her and her husband aren't even friends, they are only trying to make it work because they have a son together. She basically said that she is going to leave, she just can't bring herself to do it yet.
She has made comments to me about how crushed she was when we broke up and how she has never cared about anyone as much as she cared about me. Now we have both decided not to see eachother because she is still married and she needs to focus on that before anything else.
Now like I said, I don't really believe in fate but how the timing has played out with this is just weird. So do you think I am thinking too much into this or does it seem that our paths were supposed to cross again once we grew up?
We have not at all talked about getting together, we are just catching up as friends at this point and I have NO intentions of even implying a date until she leaves him.

I am a STRONG believer in signs, and if you looked for her, didnt find her, and then all of a sudden you have an add request from her and she just made it, you guys were definitely meant to get back in contact.
You definitely need to not look into it so much as a love possibility, because thats when things get complicated, but maybe you were meant to be there for her durign this difficult time for her. Be a friend to her and if things progress, good for you guys,just dont force it.
I had a similar situation, where my boyfriend and I stopped seeing each other, and then I found a business card to his company randomly at my new desk, and as much as I would try to forget him things would always happen to make us cross paths... there's no such thing as a coincidence... things happen because they are meant to. Oh yeah.. end of my story.. so far we have been living happily ever after with a newborn daughter, once we stopped making up excuses between us :-)

I personally don't believe in fate, but coincidence it shall be.
It's cute to read a story like this and well, myspace I guess does do wonders sometimes. I was thinking of closing my account earlier because I have no use for it. Or at least tell it not to send me anymore notification so I don't be able to see it again and be reminded of it.
What I think you should be thinking if that are you goign to wait it out and see if the marriage lasts and ready to go into a relationship with a woman and her son?
I hope you two have sparks and fireworks when you see each other. Sounds likes long lost love. (;

Dear Rice,
Hello! Fred Borman here!
My oh my, what a situation we have on our hands here! The love of your love has come crawling back into your life, but this time with some baggage! Back when I was in school these were the sorts of cases I dreamed of counseling!
Let's get to it though. You clearly haven't thought this through. This isn't the same cute, perky little petite girl whom you were fornicating with back in high school. Oh no, not by a long shot. She has been through the process of CHILD BIRTH! Remember that tight vagina that used to do wonders for you? GONE! NO MORE! By even the most conservative estimates that thing has tripled in circumference after 10 years of undoubtedly being used and abused by any man so kind enough to buy her a shot of tequila and the added strain of childbirth on top of that? Forget about it!
Are you prepared for the responsibilities of being a step father? Before you answer, remember that a step father is NOT a real father. Being a step father is more like being a creepy uncle that no one in the family likes. No matter how great of a step father you are (or more realistically you THINK you are) the kid will hate you, her family will hate you and eventually she will hate you. Forget about it!
Hopefully that has changed your outlook on this predicament. My advice would be to stay as far away from this situation as possible. However since you are already so adept at using MySpace to stalk women, why not try getting to know a few nice young high school seniors? That ought to put you back on the right track.
Best of luck,
Fred Borman, Family Counselor

I can tell you from experience, this is dangerous territory, beware. First of all, this woman is a mess if she's running to you already, let her get her head on straight and be completely divorced before you do anything. I'd say start with friendship, but believe me, if you've both been holding a torch this long, that won't happen. You're headed for a crash and burn tale.

Congratulations Rice!
It seems like love has fallen into your lap, yet like my esteemed friend and savior of my marriage to my loving husband, she does have a little baggage following her. Alas do not let this opportunity pass you bye, don't let that dead beat of a husband of hers get in the way of your love, yet another bag to add, a ex husband and a messy divorce. but i can see you are a strong man unlike myself which swore off women not because i am not attracted but the baggage that they bring. (Only thing a man brings with him is a ex and you know what they say it never hurts to wield 2 swords.) Sorry, enough about me i say you meet with each other, stop beating around the bush and just penetrate right in there. She has given you the sign just throw a little persuasion in there and speed things up time waits for no man. God im starting to cry love is such a beautiful thing and what you have is so much and what a love story if i have ever heard one.
So to answer your question you are not looking to far into things, you are not looking hard enough now grasp that taco of love and let the meat of your being be wrapped in the warmth of love.
Hope i have helped. Your friend,
