My husband left me for a gold-digger, but he still wants to be friends
Dear Annie: After 46 years, my husband decided to leave me soon after he met a gold-digger overseas.
He went about it in a cowardly manner, looking for his condo in secret, although his friends were in on his plans. I was devastated when I accidentally found out and confronted him about it. He admitted that he wanted to leave, and, soon after, did so.
For some time, I believed it was a late midlife crisis and he would soon come to his senses. But after several years of living apart, he demanded a divorce and I reluctantly agreed.
Soon after the divorce, he asked to become friends with me. I could not see having a friendship with someone who had treated me with such a lack of consideration and for whom I still feel anger and resentment. I am afraid that I will never have closure on this because he has not acknowledged how much he hurt me or how badly he treated me.
There is some satisfaction in rejecting his offer of friendship. I hope he has a twinge of regret for what he cast aside so cavalierly. Am I being unreasonable or vengeful in your opinion? — Hurt and Angry
