If they are in the same building, the same locality, if she doesn&#x27;t feel threatened or in any manner uncomfortable, she can opt not to. Once she feels, &#x27;I don&#x27;t like this feeling anymore,&#x27; she can request the other party to leave in accordance with the orders of the court,” the lawyer revealed.</p><p>The actress admitted that she already reached her breaking point which was why she called it quits with her ex-husband. </p><p>“There was still disrespect, all the lying, there was no change. Hindi po yun first time na nangyari sa amin pero ito po is taken to a different level, extreme na,” she shared.</p><p>The 36-year-old Kapuso actress added that she has already moved on from her marriage with Tom. While she still believes in love, the actress has already decided against getting married again in the future. </p><p>“I still believe in love [but] aaminin ko na madaming nag change sa perspective ko especially with marriage. I really, honestly don’t see myself getting married again,” she continued.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/6/is-carla-abellana-open-to-reconciling-with-tom-rodriguez-1117" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Is Carla Abellana open to reconciling with Tom Rodriguez?</u></strong></a></div><p>Carla revealed in the same interview that she has already forgiven Tom. She shared that she had to forgive herself first in order to do the same for her ex-husband. </p><p>“Mapapansin niyo po yan eh na, ‘She looks like she’s glowing.’ Bitbit niyo po yan eh. So I have, technically po. I saw it as something na I have to forgive myself first bago ko siya mapatawad. Galit, wala na po. Ang hirap pong magbitbit ng galit,” she said.</p><p>Carla and Tom tied the knot back in October 2021.</p>
