Terrified my ex-husband is going to drink himself to death

DEAR DEIDRE: Leaving my ex-husband was the right thing to do, but I’m consumed by guilt.

The end of our marriage has devastated him, and I fear he is going to drink himself to death.

I’m 41 and he’s 48. We were married for 13 years but didn’t have children.

Our marriage wasn’t unhappy but I became dissatisfied and distant.

When I fell for another man, who is 43, at work, I knew I had to end my marriage.

I thought my husband realised we had grown apart.
