We have had many conversations in the past month of twenty years ago. He says, "I wish we would have gotten together twenty years ago ..." and I say, I'm glad we did now.
He brings it up often, I know he wishes we had. I gently explain, I was a princess brat in my 20's, immature, and would have never appreciated him as I do now.
He agrees that he was wild, immature, and we would have been intense together, but he says the chemistry that we have now and had towards each other then would have been enough to keep us together until we both grew up.
I thought that was the sweetest thing.
