You Can't Go Back

Exactly.. I recently reconnected with a woman I first met when we were in first grade.. we were friends all through school, and part of our young adulthood, but divorces and changes in location had us lose contact for nearly 25 years. We met several times and had a great time reliving the past and talking about what happened to mutual acquaintances, but on the last meeting, the conversation seemed to wane.... and like you, I'm not sure I really like her now.. we don't seem to have anything in common now.... other than our history.

I agree. I met up with my best friend from all through high school a few years ago. We have nothing in common at all anymore, and as QS said -- I don't think I even like her anymore.
 

I don't think many vets would agree with you.

When you meet up with someone you have served with you start straight off where you left off, once you have updated on kids and career. you have to.

I can remember walking across a crowded sports field in Germany, at least 200 miles from where I was based and a voice called, "I know that laugh, that's June." (my wife), and it was a couple we hadn't seen for twenty years.

Their company made room for us and we spent the rest of the day together, and nostalgically went our separate ways.

Ten years later I was posted to Scotland and when I went for a drink on the first night there were our friends, and once gain we took up where we left off.

I haven't seen Charlie Bouchard from San Antonio since Oxfordshire in 1979 but if ever we meet again within five minutes he'd be complaining about warm Limey beer and I'd be asking if I could get a decent drink anywhere, rather than Bud or Schlitz and we'd both be complaining about the world going to hell in a handbasket.

Yes you can go back, most natural thing in the world.
