In the 1970s, music giants like Led Zeppelin, The Supremes, and Joan Baez ruled the airwaves with their passionate and revolutionary songs. It was a time of social and scientific growth, with the invention of microchips and microwave ovens. At the same time, "Star Wars" changed the way movies were made for good. As Mary Tyler Moore threw her hat in the air on TV, it was a sign of women's growing freedom, and love stories were happening at the same time.

During this time, Paul and his girlfriend Jane had the kind of love that only teenagers can feel. They were in love in high school and were sure that their relationship would last. Engaged and dreaming of a future together—marriage, kids, and the journey of life—they were ready to face the world as a united team.
Heartbreak
However, like many love stories, theirs encountered a painful twist. A misunderstanding arose, leading to their separation. The engagement was called off, leaving them heartbroken and disillusioned. They parted ways, each carrying their own share of grief. As time passed, wounds healed and life moved forward. Paul eventually met and married Anne, building a fulfilling life together. And it’s not a story where husband catches wife cheating.
Paul kept in touch with Jane's mother over the years, and it gave him comfort to know that Jane had gotten married and was doing well. As time went on, he decided it was time to get in touch with Jane and try to make things right. To avoid making her mother uncomfortable, he decided to search Jane's full name on Google in a sneaky way, trying to find her contact information. Even though he tried many times over the years, he never succeeded. If he only knew how to find out if someone has dating profiles!
Two Losses and an Unexpected Twist
Then, in July 2017, more than 30 years after Paul and Jane had last talked, a terrible thing happened. Anne gave up her fight against cancer. Paul called Jane's mother in his sadness and was shocked to hear that Jane's husband had also died, just two days after his own wife had died.
Inspired by this touching accident, Paul was determined to take charge of his life. He used Google again and found the iFindCheaters site this time. He quickly got Jane's email address by using the Listing Locator service.
He wrote an email to Jane as his heart raced. She answered. Both of them had changed over time. The passing of time changes everyone and everything. Both of them had to deal with the weight of their deep losses. It's still not clear if their friendship will turn into something more. Paul says it well: "At the very least, we'll be friends and cherish our memories." One thing is for sure: they're glad to have found each other again.
However, our team relationship expert, Wilda Harrison, has a slightly different point of view here: "As a psychologist, I have a view that isn't widely shared about Paul and Jane getting back together. Even though their reunion may seem sweet, it's important to see how complicated things really are. Getting back together with old friends or family, especially after big changes in your life, can bring up old hurts and make you feel less emotionally stable. Even though the initial happiness is strong, it's important to be careful around these reunions because they could have a negative effect on your emotional health. Feelings like longing and nostalgia can make it hard to make good decisions, which can cause people to miss the real reasons why they broke up in the first place."
Now, a real journey of healing starts. It will be led by two people with open hearts and minds who have been brought back together by the magic of an iFindCheaters search.
