Dear Abby Hubby’s ex-wife now her sister-in-law By Abigail Van Buren c 1974 by Chicago Tribune-N. Y. News Synd., Inc. DEAR ABBY: My husband’s ex-wife and I (his present wife) are the best of friends. I had nothing to do with their divorce. In fact, I never even met Ray until they were divorced. People find this hard to believe. They seem to think that whenever there's a divorce, there’s got to be someone waiting in the wings. Ray never hated his ex-wife, and she never hated him. They just decided after five years that they couldn’t make a go of their marriage, so they called it quits. (No children involved.) After I married Ray, I met his “ex" and we became friends. My brother (who’s a naval officer) came to town, and I introduced Ray’s "ex" to my brother, and wouldn't you know, it was love at first sight! They were married New Year’s Day in our home, and Ray and I stood up for them. Everybody thinks we’re the craziest people in town because we didn’t let divorce make us bitter and backbiting. Please print this to let people know that just because two people are divorced doesn't mean they have to hate each other. LOVE AND LET LOVE DEAR LOVE: Lovely! It’s not every man who's lucky enough to marry a woman who has a brother for his “ex.” DEAR ABBY: They say in most marriages, you grow closer at the years go by. Not us. After 20 years, there isn’t much left to our marriage. We have three teen-age children, and after the last one leaves us we will have nothing. Some days we don’t have even five words to say to each other. If one of us should die, I don't think the other would miss much. He would miss his meals and clean clothes, and I would miss his paycheck. Do we go on like this until one of us dies? Or do we go our separate ways and try to make new lives for ourselves? I am 45 and he is 50. * MARKING TIME DEAR MARKING: If you both agree that there isn’t much left to your marriage, why not talk about it? Try to remember what you saw in each other 20 years ago. Get some dialogue going! Communicate. Even if it’s bitter and argumentative, it will clear the air, and perhaps signal the beginning of a new start. It’s worth a try.
