In this heartfelt letter, a woman grapples with her emotions following the death of her ex-husband, who had a bitter reaction to their divorce 30 years ago. After discovering his infidelity with her sister, she felt compelled to leave but never disclosed the reason. The ex's death has reignited old feelings and confusion, especially as her sister speaks highly of him. Abby advises that sharing her truth could bring closure, noting the necessity of confronting unresolved feelings for one's peace of mind.
You should have told your ex the reason you left before you did it. I can't imagine why you stayed silent.
The next time your sister starts talking about how good-looking your ex was, do something you should have done decades ago.
I see nothing to be gained by not speaking up at this point, except more pain and turmoil for yourself.
You had a valid reason for divorcing him.
