Here's the thing: 7 years is the amount of time it takes our physical body to completely regenerate each cell. There are no ethics or morals that say a man or woman can't be with the person he or she loves. So, it's worth the risk to explore the possibility, especially if neither of you are married or have children. The worst case scenario: heart break. Not even unrequited love because love given us never lost: it just goes on. Take it from me... There are no lessons lost where love is given. If you have a connection, it is for two reasons: love expanding or something to learn. Good luck!
