[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t be obtuse-they mean they are sorry your marriage didn’t work out (which you surely know!) [/quote]

+1 Who goes into a marriage thinking you'll get divorced? I'm sorry for the pain of broken dreams and loss. Why is that hard to understand?[/quote]

I went in the marriage thinking a divorce was possible. Sometimes marriage is a hard decision. Not everyone is a romantic fool.[/quote]

Dh and I went into marriage with the agreement it is for life. Divorce is not an option. We prioritize our relationship and have been happily married for 28 years so far.[/quote]

Well, my exDH lied to me about the foundation of our martial agreement and was financially and emotionally abusive. Divorce is the only option in that case. [/quote]

And. That’s. What. We’re. Sorry. About. So instead of acting all offended and flabbergasted that people say “I’m sorry,” we’re expressing sympathy for the literal litany of horrors that poster after poster here has shared to justify your divorce. You don’t need to justify it—we know bad, scary, sad, unfair, unexpected things happen that predicate divorce. And that is what we are sorry about!

So pick a lane: either it was a pack of lies and an abusive situation, or it was an easy decision that no one should express sympathy or sorrow over. Which is it?[/quote]

It’s both and if you can’t understand that then you’re obtuse. [/quote]
