[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree your post is long and hard to read. I lost some friends when my ex and I got our divorce. I also made new friends later. I kept some friends too. It does change dynamics, so I would be prepared for that type of thing, but know others have been there too. The majority of friends that faded into the distance for me were friends I had made with my husband. It was sad for me but it got better.[/quote]

Did you do anything to set boundaries and or put friends at ease?  I feel like all of a sudden I’ve become people’s comfort pillow and punching bag at the same time. I probably shouldn’t have confided in these friends because obviously they couldn’t handle it. A coworker also started doing this to me kind of blaming me for anything that went wrong in a meeting thinking she could and I put my foot down and called her out on it but I didn’t care about that friendship as much. That relationship has gotten better although we also don’t work together as much. These friendships are decades long friendships. I’d like to keep them if they could treat me more normally. [/quote]
