Dear Mr. Blue, My ex-husband has written me four or five long letters apologizing for his bad behavior the last two years of the marriage. It was six years ago. I don't care anymore. Confessor Dear Confessor, You don't have to read his letters. Confession is good for the soul, but it isn't necessarily worth listening to.
Some people just love to confess.
Or the newspaper critic in Minnesota who was caught having appropriated a few phrases from a book and resigned his job in a column that was creepy with self-loathing. I say, move on. Put your ex-husband's letters in a drawer unopened and go on with your life. Dear Mr. Blue, I am 44, have ended a 25-year marriage and now find myself in a romantic relationship with a woman I was close friends with before the split, though she was not the cause of it. She is 36, and although very attractive and wonderful, has difficulty seeing herself in a relationship.
