[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you explain or address questions about why you divorced?

I was married for 15 yrs & most ppl thought we were a good Christian couple, a solid family. We divorced because ex cheated. I have had a hard time responding to people who found out about our divorce because they are typically shocked. No one saw this coming.

That made me wonder…. If *you* are the cheater, and that was the cause of dissolution, what do you say, if anything, when asked why you divorced?[/quote]

This happened to a friend. She cheated (though that was the result, not the symptom. She admits she was an ahole for doing so but there were lots of problems on BOTH sides in the marriage).

She hosted a small party of women at her home and a friend of the Ex's GF (with whom there is no issue-it's as amicable as can be at this point) asked my friend point blank: So what happened with you and ExH?

My friend new the drill of the gossip mill in her town and addressed it head on: "I had an affair. I assume (new GF) told you that and, yes, that's true." That shut it down completely. [/quote]
