[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these people in here defending their “I’m sorry” reply, you really should listen. I am not divorced, so no defensiveness here, but think about it, by saying you’re sorry, you are really implying something negative in a decision that somebody has made. That’s just rude. I would never say that to someone who tells me they’re getting divorced. Sometimes I say something like, oh, that can be hard, hope everyone is doing okay. That leaves them open to let me know, like OP, I’m doing good, this is for the best. Heck, I have to refrain from saying, congrats, lucky you! Because most days I wish that I too were getting divorced. So, OP, congrats! [/quote]
I always say, sorry, unless I know the person is elated. It sucks to get divorced because it’s a huge PITA, if you have kids it’s hard on them regardless, and obviously it’s the end of a marriage that you presumably went into without planning to get divorced.

I had one friend who laughed and said she was so happy to be getting divorced, but she wasn’t clueless enough to ascribe rudeness to my comment. [/quote]
