Dear Abby: I don't love him, but I'm thinking he might be the smart choice
Briefly

The author, after a year and a half of divorce, is conflicted about her feelings towards her ex-husband while navigating a new friendship with Rob who has shown romantic interest. Although Rob's financial stability provides some comfort amidst parental responsibilities, her lingering love for her ex creates emotional turmoil. Abby advises her to honestly communicate with Rob about her unresolved feelings and accept her past to open up possibilities for her future. Meanwhile, another section discusses the pain of feeling unreciprocated in long-standing friendships, highlighting that the lack of communication can be hurtful even if past connections were strong.
It is important to tell Rob you're still not over your divorce... while you enjoy his company, you’re not ready for a romantic relationship.
You think you still love the husband who wanted the divorce; it’s time to accept that the marriage is history.
Fostering friendships is important, but when those friendships feel one-sided, it's essential to address feelings of resentment.
A healthy communication in friendships is vital; if you're frequently reaching out but not receiving calls back, it's valid to feel hurt.
