It is a part of mid life crisis.

Yes and there is another Valid reason for this type of feeling and it is called a twinflame connection, but thank you for pointing out the more "obvious" one that most of us experiencing this have already considered.

He he he ...
If this kind of feelings/thoughts is just a midlife crisis, there is a simple solution. - Hot Car, New Career, New Life, Steamy Affair, or etc.
Basically, one can just work on themselves to improve or change their lives.

However, when this kind of feelings/thoughts is called a "special" soul connection (or TF for some of you), there really is NOT a simple fix for it.

So~~ let's just call it a "Midlife Crisis" and let's be done with it.

LOL, at times i think we each would prefer the easier method of a midlife crisis, but then we would not be the beautiful spiritual beings living this lovely journey...........my tf was the catalyst for my awakening

Well, for what it's worth, I had a karmic soulmate who was the catalyst for my awakening 20 years ago. I think about him all the time. He wants nothing to do with me, and I know that he's not my twin flame. Sometimes the people in those stories from when we were younger are twins and other times they are just people helping us out on the journey.

Well I guess I'm going through a quarter life crisis then, because I still love my ex like none other. He wasn't even my first for anything, I just love him deeply and unconditionally. I mean yes we've both changed a bit over the years, but his soul is unchanged. And that's why I love him. Not the physical him, but his soul, the part that really counts.

This is a facinating thread and one that I guess the majority would feel some connection with including me.
However, one must consider that if ones desires were to be played out, one should consider that many lives would be affected so tread carefully. I have considered many scenarios to fulfill lost love 20 years later which was captured during those precious moments back in the day, but it simply isnt right........for me. Its not healthy to be obsessing about this and energies are better spent finding a new love for wonderful energising and special moments together. Then, past loves will simply be foundations that made us what we are today.
