Former spouses ready to try
again after 16 years
DEAR ABBY: I recon
nected with my ex-hus
band, “Liam,” a year ago,
16 years after our divorce.
(We hadn’t seen or talked
to each other during that
time.) He’s remarried with
four kids; I am single with
two kids. We got married
when we were young, but
we’re now in our early
40s. We know what we
want or don’t want in a
partner, and know what we
will/won’t put up with, etc.
Liam is still legally mar
ried, and I have been sin
gle for a year. He and his
wife have been separated
almost two years. We have
been intimate, which I feel
has brought us closer
together. We are very com
patible. We get along well,
have the same religious
beliefs and we’re both veg
etarians. We had a long
talk about our future a few
days ago and whether we
should try to get back
together. Both of us feel
the same way. We’re still
very much in love with
each other after all these
years.
Should we try to get
back together when the
time is right, or should we
leave the past behind us
and let it go? Any advice is
greatly appreciated. —
SECOND CHANCE IN
GEORGIA
DEAR SECOND
CHANCE: No one can
decide FOR you whether
you and Liam should try
to reconcile “when the
time is right” — which I
assume means when he is
divorced from his current
wife. I can offer this
advice: As appealing as
the idea may seem right
now, do not do it until you
have had joint counseling
with a licensed marriage
and family therapist to
resolve any lingering
issues that “might” crop
up.
Also, if Liam is really
contemplating offloading
his current missus, he
needs to consult an attor
ney who specializes in

family law so he will be
fully prepared for the bat-
tie that’s sure to lie ahead.
DEAR ABBY: I had
substance abuse problems
in the past. I have been in
a rehabilitation program
for a while now, and have
been sober for more than a
year. I would like to con
tinue my sobriety and feel
I could stay sober from
drugs and still drink
socially. My family is
against me drinking at all,
even though alcohol is
plentiful at their holiday
get-togethers. They also
don’t want me socializing
with friends who drink at
all, even if these friends
don’t use other substances.
I should mention I am of
legal drinking age.
How can I convince my
family that I will stay off
drugs while drinking
socially? I know they want
what’s best for me, but I
don’t want to feel left out
of family events or have to
end friendships, which
feels extreme. —
RESPONSIBLE SOCIAL
DRINKER
DEAR RESPON
SIBLE: While your family
is well-intentioned, I agree
their thinking they can
maintain your sobriety
“for” you by deciding
what you may and may
not drink on their premises
is extreme. And the deci
sion of who you can safely
socialize with should be
made by you.
This is an important
subject you should discuss
with your sponsor or the
administrators of your sub
stance abuse rehabilitation
program. Please don’t wait
to do it. Not knowing you
personally, I cannot — and
should not — advise you
further than this.
