Now, decades later, he’s reached out, apologized sincerely, and wants to rebuild their lives together. The advice columnist says the only thing standing in the way? Her own low self-esteem. She’s urged to seek therapy to build confidence before her insecurities ruin this second chance. Meanwhile, another listener—married three times, with kids and grandkids, and a long, active sex life—gets blunt advice: for the sake of everyone around her, keep quiet about her past.
