In a recent Dear Abby column, a reader from the South, who goes by 'Moving On,' shared her dilemma about whether to attend her ex-husband Lloyd's funeral. After a tumultuous marriage that ended in divorce due to Lloyd's infidelity and subsequent lies,
the reader expressed indifference towards him. Despite receiving a text about his passing, she was not contacted by his family and feels no obligation to attend the funeral. Dear Abby advised that attending the funeral is not necessary, especially given the lack of respect and emotional support from Lloyd's family.
