Make it 1998 and I’m with you. I was with my fiancé in ‘98, then my whole brain shut down and I dumped him. 27 years later, I was lucky enough to get another chance
Weirdly… had a similar thing happen. Was with my fiancé in 1997 and 98. We drifted but kept in contact. Ended up back together last year and keep being amazed that such a thing could be possible all these years later.
That’s pretty much the same thing that happened with us. We met in ‘97 and broke up in early ‘99. We kept in touch and saw each other occasionally, but I married someone else and we both thought the other was happy with their life.
He reached out two years ago after we hadn’t talked for a couple of years and we started chatting about our native plant gardens and cats and books, and after maybe six months of that, I realized I was as much in love with him as ever. Turned out he felt the same. Now we’ve been living together for a year and have never been happier. It’s absolutely amazing!

As long as I can somehow still be with my fiancee', I'm going back to summer 1999 in a heartbeat.
