An emotional meeting between Norman Hakim and his ex-wife, Abby Abadi, recently managed to open the door for them to mend their strained relationship.
According to Abby, whose real name is Arbaiyah Abdul Manan, 48, one sincere sentence from Norman touched her heart.
“There was one thing he said that made me feel guilty. He just accepted everything I said and apologized for the mistakes that led to this situation,” she said during a live session on TikTok.
Abby added that Norman also expressed his appreciation towards her for giving birth to their children.
“He said, do whatever you want, he accepts it because I am the one who gave birth to our children. That really made me sad,” she said emotionally.
Commenting further, Abby admitted that sharing their past marriage issues on social media was a mistake.
“I was wrong and I apologized. For 17 years, I never spoke about it. But I was angry because he had become successful and forgotten about the kids. I just wanted to make him realize it. My biggest mistake was sharing it publicly,” she explained.
Even though they have been divorced for a long time, their relationship remains friendly like close friends. Both are also comfortable spending time together even though they are now married to other partners.
“There’s something that keeps us from staying apart. For 17 years, we stayed on good terms. It’s like being best friends who suddenly fought and were asked to separate — it’s really hard,” Abby shared.
Previously, Abby had revealed that she was a victim of domestic violence and child support neglect during her marriage to Norman.
However, after their meeting last Saturday, all of her posts about those issues were deleted as a sign of respect towards their efforts to rebuild their relationship.
For your information, Abby and Norman got married in 2002 and divorced in 2009. They have three children together from their marriage. – BOOM!
