I've heard of several affairs lately that started when someone looked up (or was looked up by) an old High School friend or sweetheart (such as thru Classmates.com). I've even seen posts from several folks on these boards that indicate that's how the affair started in their case. Have ya'll noticed that? <p>Got me to wondering how I would handle it if a male "old friend" e-mailed me, just to reminisce about old times. Just not even respond? I'm so paranoid about anything remotely inappropriate now, I honestly think that's how I'd handle it. No sense playing with fire, in my opinion.<p>Just an observation and rambling thoughts...<p>Lori

I agree!!! Don't allow yourself to tempted. Stay away!!!<p>If you didn't get it my WH's A is one that started with an old HS friend.<p>

Lori<p>That's how my H's A started. OW contacted him through Classmates.com. He says now he would have just deleted the email and ignored it all together. <p>In my H's case she was still carrying a 20 yr crush and was relentless in her pursuit. He did ask her to lunch but, then she wouldn't let it go. Emails followed up by phone calls, etc. <p>You never know what their life has been like over the years that you have not been in contact with them. <p>I wrote to classmates.com and asked them to put a warning out, that exterme caution should be used when answering an email. We have since removed our names from classmates.com. <p>My H's 20 year reunion is this August and he has decided not to attend. OW was not part of his HS class but, he does not want any contact by former HS female friends. <p>My H's feels that seeing any HS friends will be a trigger for continued pain of the A so, it's not worth going.<p>Lori (bearcub)<p>[ June 14, 2002: Message edited by: bearcub ]</p>

All I can say is: Beware of old HS buddies trying to re-connect! And 20-25 year reunions? YIKES!!!!<p>danger-danger-danger
