[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey Jane. Sorry to hear you are divorcing. I know how hard it can be. It was particularly hurtful when my former friends dumped me. Hope your friends treat you better than mine did. Best of luck.

I'd write some version of this.  [/quote]

What are you guys, 12 years old? This is a middle school type response.

(I'm the PP who wrote the "honesty" response above)[/quote]

What if the response is "honesty"?  I mean, that's pretty much how I'd feel if someone did this -- I'd feel sorry for her, but what she did WAS "particularly hurtful."  And I wouldn't consider her a friend anymore, and I could honestly wish that her friends are nicer to her than she was to me.  It's not a vindictive response, it's just blunt.  It conveys that we are not friends anymore and she should not count on me for any support.  [/quote]

I'm the -1000 poster from this little chain. No, this is not honesty, it's snark. If you want honesty, say "Your response when I was divorcing was really hurtful. I hope you get through this and that you have other friends who can provide support, but after how you treated me, I'm not the best person for that role. Best of luck." or something similar. Referring to her in the third person like that ("my former friends") is snarky and immature. [/quote]

How is it snarky? Bc it’s the truth? They were former friends. She did dump OP and hopefully she has better friends bc her and OP are no longer friends. This woman doesn’t deserve a long drawn out response. [/quote]

The truth is "It was very hurtful when you dumped me." Saying "it was hurtful when my former friends dumped me" when you're talking to one of the former friends, is juvenile and snarky. [/quote]
