[quote=Anonymous]When I was going through a divorce i often just didn’t have it in me to say “great how are you?” and started being a little more open/honest/vulnerable in response to that question. I wasn’t doing any inappropriate over sharing like “well I just learned he’s been lying and hiding money overseas for years!” but I would say eg “honestly I’m a little overwhelmed/sad!” I know it’s not the expected script but I just didn’t have it in me to care. Honestly a lot of women would then open up and be vulnerable about their own struggles. Like oh if we’re actually being honest with each other instead of just following the script, then I have some stuff I need to get off my chest too. I felt like it actually deepened my friendships with a lot of women who were previously just neighborhood acquaintances. [/quote]
