High School Sweethearts

[Rolando2]

What are your opinions about talking to your high school sweetheart on FB, when that was 50 years ago? I am NOT trying to bring up any thing sexual , just reminisceing and she has no problems with it either. Am I overstepping the bounds of ,I guess the word is etiquette or am I being selfish? I would nothing to disrupt or contaminate her life.

I don't see a problem with this.

For what it's worth, my Father, who is older than you (just had his 60th university reunion) is Facebook friends with his high school sweetheart. They reminisce about good times, and she calls about once every three months. Father is not interested in starting anything - there was, in his words, a reason why they dated. That said, he also keeps in mind that there was a reason that they broke up, and it had nothing to do with the various Revolutions.

If it's open, if all SOs are on board with it, then why not?

Mother is more than fine with it. She's Facebook friends with her college sweetheart. Father knows and they will occasionally go out for coffee.
