[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been separated for 7 years and divorced for 2 and most my friends and coworkers don't even know. Only really close friends and family just found out because my mom died and my xH was at the funeral (for our kids) but then he went home. Lol. It was funny we sat around and told "family secrets".

It's just not something that comes up in conversation, I don't need support, I don't see any reason to bring it up in conversation.

While we were separated, we still attended kids games, school events, cookouts and dinner parties with our kids. As soon as people started to find out they were like "who do we invite" "do we invite both", I was like well for 5 years you were inviting both why would you stop.

It's weird how people act so weird about divorce. [/quote]

If my kid hangs out with yours a lot I need to know. You don't need to make some big announcement or share detail, just weave it in casually in a conversation. [/quote]

Why do you “need to know?”[/quote]

I am not OP.

OP said her family vacationed in the past with this family.

Would you naively assume it’s OK to invite the ex / separated dad along on the next vacation?

Or would you maybe find that a little awkward?  (I sure as hell would).[/quote]

I’ve vacationed with people that I haven’t seen in 10 years but if they invited us I would call and say hey we are divorced so no thanks, or hey we’d love to go if that’s weird for you just let me know we obviously need different sleeping arrangements.

My xH and I have to travel together ever weekend in the Fall because our son plays football D1 and it’s really not an issue. We even have rented Airbnbs with other families. [/quote]
