Heartbroken Harry’s Ex-Wife Dilemma: To Console or Not to Console?
Well, well, well! It seems like Heartbroken Harry is caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, his ex-wife put him through the wringer with her cheating ways, and he’s been living his best life since the divorce. But now, with her new hubby’s tragic demise and a funeral flop that left her hysterical, Harry’s feeling a twinge of guilt for not offering his condolences. His wife’s got his back, saying he owes his ex no compassion, but the court of public opinion (a.k.a. his ex’s friend) thinks he’s being a total a-hole. So, what do you think? Should Harry have put aside his past hurt to offer some kind words, or was he right to keep his distance from the woman who shattered his heart? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this juicy dilemma!
