Dear Annie: I want to warn my ex’s next wife/target

I’ve noticed Ted likes to pick women who maybe already have some struggles with self-esteem or depression, or who drink too much.

Then he gets you to start a business with him, and to co-sign a loan for his “work truck.” He ended up leaving me with $300,000 in debt.

I really want to give her a warning, but he is great at triangulation and would probably make me out to be crazy or something.

Write a letter letting her know that you’ve noticed some patterns emerging in her relationship with Ted, patterns that were also present in your marriage and caused you great emotional pain and financial hardship.

There’s a good chance she’ll shrug it off and throw it out, or show it to Ted, who will have a pat explanation for everything, I’m sure.

The humiliation your young wife is about to experience will likely last a lifetime and this is exactly what you wanted since sex was more important to you than the devastating harm you were willing to inflict.

Dear K.S.: A lot of people wrote in about that letter, with a few suggesting that “MOMR” must have been pulling my leg because it was so outrageous.
