Whether divorced couples should revisit unfinished emotional business years later

My ex-wife and I have been divorced for two years and we're finally able to have civil conversations about co-parenting, but there are still these huge things we never said to each other about why our marriage failed and I don't know if trying to have that conversation now would help us move forward or just reopen old wounds. Part of me thinks we owe it to ourselves to finally be honest.

What we've seen

The desire for closure and understanding can persist long after legal separation, raising questions about when honesty serves healing and when it serves ego.
