[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a divorced person, this article makes me want to cry:  http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/5-secrets-happy-marriage-181932455.html

re: the advice to hang around with other "happily marrieds".  The most continually painful thing about my divorce has been the friends who stopped socializing with me afterwards.  I understand the advice, and I understand people need to protect their own marriages. But reading this is like a punch in the gut  :([/quote]

Meh, that article is bullshit.  I am very happily married, and I would never ditch a divorced friend to "protect my marriage." (I'm not really speaking hypothetically, either; my BFF went through a long, painful divorce, and my husband was totally cool with me prioritizing time with her when she needed me).  I think that beig. A good partner and being a good friend can require very similar attitudes, and I would respect my spouse less if he wasn't there for a friend who needed him.  All the best to you, OP, and I hope you find some better friends![/quote]
