In a recent Dear Abby column, a man from Missouri expressed his shock and disgust upon discovering that his wife was raped at the age of 14 and had several adult partners at the ages of 15 and 16. He is contemplating divorce over these revelations, feeling deceived that this information was not disclosed before their marriage. Dear Abby advises him to seek therapy and gain perspective before making such a drastic decision, emphasizing that rape is rape regardless of the circumstances.
Another letter in the column shared a story of lost love from the ’80s, where a man named Bittersweet from California wants to reconnect with his former flame, Sasha. Despite being married to someone else for over 30 years, he still thinks about Sasha and wants closure on their past relationship. Dear Abby suggests that it may be time to let go of the past and move on, as dwelling on a past love may not bring the closure he seeks.
