The letter discusses a woman in an unfulfilling marriage due to her husband's emotional unavailability and anxiety. Despite multiple counseling attempts, her needs for affection and intimacy were not met. She developed feelings for a younger man she met online, leading her to decide on a divorce. Dear Abby supports her choice while stressing the importance of being cautious when developing an online relationship, highlighting potential risks like scams and the need to meet in person before pursuing any commitments.
It's essential to consider your own emotional needs and make a decision that is in your best interest when the marriage is no longer fulfilling.
When seeking companionship online, be cautious and verify the person's identity to avoid falling victim to scams or misunderstandings.
A marriage that lacks affection and intimacy can lead to emotional neglect, making it reasonable to seek change and prioritize your well-being.
Before committing to a new relationship, take the time to meet and understand the other person, as online connections can be misleading.
