[quote=Anonymous]My DH unexpectedly filed for divorce. I don’t know why and he hasn’t told me. We weren’t separated or anything like that. We have kids. His legal action has upended our lives and launched us into a very confusing time. He moved out and has not been involved with the kids in a typical or even 50/50 way.

Naturally I have had to lean on friends and family for support, and have told them the basics: DH filed, I don’t know what will happen, no, I’m not aware of an affair, yes, I could use help driving to basketball practice.

DH is furious that I’ve told anyone at all. He’s mad that I have changed the order of emergency contacts for the kids’ schools and activities (since I don’t know where he is because he won’t share his travel plans) and mad that I have asked him to update info with school so they can reach him.

I think he expected me to pretend nothing was happening and to pretend that we all live together while the legal stuff unfolds.

I’m not disclosing family secrets or court filings or anything else, just explaining to people how our family logistics have changed and why so I can get the support I need. It’s going to be a really long process so I’m not sure how I could have kept it quiet.

Is this going to be held against me legally? I know DH holds it against me personally.

I haven’t known any divorced people while they were actively going through a divorce so now I’m questioning if I did something outside the norm. [/quote]
