I can understand what you're going through.  I also found out where my first love was living and thought about contacting him.  I too thought I should apologize about how I ended our relationship.  When I first found out where he was living it stirred up a lot of old feelings.  I put off contacting him thinking it was not a good idea to do anything when I was feeling so emotional.   

    

Thank goodness.  After much thought I finally decided not to contact him.  No point going back in the future.  I am thankful for the love and happiness I have with my family now.  Contacting an old love just isn't worth risking everything I have.   

      

I let go of my guilt feelings about how I ended the relationship, and decided that there was no point feeling guilty about something that happened 25 years ago.  I moved on a long time ago and if he didn't then its his responsibity, not mine.  

    

I wish you the best in whatever choice you make.  

       

I found out that he did get married, had at least one child, a rocky marriage and has divorced. He's still drinking, got in trouble for being abusive to his wife, had to go to court for child support, and now he's up and disappeared because he doesn't want to pay support for his daughter. What a winner, huh? I could have had all that. Whatever problems I have with my husband now seem minor to what this guy's ex must have gone through with him.
