Dear Prudence,
My divorce from my now-ex-husband was finalized a month ago. All along, I thought we had the perfect marriage until I received the shock of a lifetime late one night when he called me from the police station.
It was then that he confessed that he had been arrested for exposing himself to a woman in a parking lot. I would come to learn that he had exposed himself to over a dozen more victims—Including a woman who was with her young daughter—over the course of the last five months, when I thought he was working on a project at his job. He is now in jail awaiting trial.
I am still reeling and will be forever cursing myself for unwittingly marrying a predator. Everyone thought he was such a wonderful person and we had a rock-solid relationship. What do I say to people when they find out that my ex and I are now divorced and ask what happened?
