[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have read on here that divorced moms feel left out. I actually feel like the divorcing moms distance themselves from their old friends.

I have one friend who was a good family friend of ours. Our kids were best friends. We used to hang out together all the time as families. Then Covid hit and she got divorced and she wants nothing to do with me or my child. Her ex husband is still friends with mine.

Another friend is divorcing now. I met them as a couple and we were close for over a decade. We were pregnant together. Our husbands were good friends. I know she is dating. She seems to want nothing to do with us and has made all these new party friends.[/quote]

If your husband is still friends with their husbands, that might be a bit too close for comfort.  I’m divorcing now and don’t want to socialize with people who are also spending time with the ex and his side piece.  My ego just can’t take that.[/quote]

The guys don’t have girlfriends or anyone they bring around. In both my examples, the wife wanted the divorce.

My divorcing friend is leaving her alcoholic husband. I am totally her friend first. My husband is and was friends with both of them for over a decade. Her soon to be ex does not have many friends while my female friend has tons of friends. She definitely seems to be gravitating towards divorced and single people. We have teen children but I also have an elementary child while she only has teens.[/quote]

I’m the PP, dunno then.  Maybe it’s some sort of reinvention thing.  I got dumped hard, so just circled the wagons for self-preservation.  It’s probably very different when someone is making an active choice rather than just reacting.  [/quote]
