[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay out of it. Some women are very happy to be divorced, and they feel a great sense of relief. If someone like you approached them offering support as if someone had died, you would be the one creating drama and shame. A lot of women completed the mourning stage while in the marriage, up until they made the decision to leave. If you were not privy to that stage, keep your mouth shut. She is ready to move on to a new chapter.[/quote]

I have one friend who reached out to me. She wanted to talk and she wanted me to hear it from her directly and early. We talked for an hour then and many times after.

I have another less close friend where I similarly heard about it sort of second hand. I did not pry or bring it up. In later conversations she mentioned it to me and I followed her lead on what to ask with out prying or being overly familiar. This friend was fine at the stage we connected and not looking for the "support" you are suggesting, at least not from me.[/quote]
