In a letter to Dear Abby, a man reflects on his ex-wife's recent attempt to connect after 46 years, expressing that some relationships should remain closed post-divorce. He believes that ending a marriage means relinquishing the right to friendship. Abby acknowledges this perspective but points out that not all divorcees can easily move on, particularly those with shared children. She emphasizes that the man's choice to not engage with his ex-wife was valid, encouraging him to focus on his present life rather than the past.
"Once you divorce, it is over forever, so hopefully they won't have to deal with this like I have."
"Some people can't just move on with their lives after a divorce because they are tied together by their children."
