Although I was recently married, I had an intense but chaste relationship with a young man. I have his outpourings of love to me, but I don’t want my children to have to deal with thisWhen I was 22 and just married, I fell in love with an 18-year-old I worked with. I have a bundle of letters and poems he wrote for me that I have kept through many moves. Should I try to contact him (I have no idea where he is) to return these letters?
