[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just was divorced and it’s obviously a hard thing, and it’s made easier to the extent that I get to choose when and to whom to discuss it. There’s a lot of distressing loss of control over your life in a divorce, and if other people bring it up in conversation, that is yet more loss of control. When I’m in the mood, which is often enough (for me), I will bring it up. So do your divorcing friends the favor of giving them agency over this sensitive and personal topic. Think of it this way if you’re tempted to force the topic into a conversation — for the very first time, no less: if you were a frenemy/enemy of this woman, the meanest thing you could say to her might be, “So how’s everything going with that divorce I heard you were having?”[/quote] I'm going through this now and this was a good way of putting it. Divorce is so hard. Sometimes talking about it just makes it harder.[/quote]
