To me everything else is just white noise around the fact that you don't like being around icky divorced people. Grow up, OP. Not everyone's family turned out the way they had hoped.

Some people are defensive. It's kind of sad divorce has become so commonplace. For those who grew up in families without a lot of divorces, it takes some getting used to being around divorced people because they seem to act in ways that other people do not, they are unaware of how they act, and it's unpleasant to be around. Sort of like how you're acting right now.

WTF?
I don't understand how this is. I am not divorced BTW.

i understand this. i am not divorced nor are my parents. i honestly had NO friends or relatives who were divorced growing up. it was SHOCKING when i met my now dh and started spending time around his divorced parents. it's awkward at best, and hostile at worst. mil won't be in the same room as fil unless she absolutely has to. i've seen fil walk up to mil to wish her happy holidays, and mil tells him to "go to hell." at my wedding, mil would not even stand up at the front with my parents or her ex husband when our families gave toasts. it's strange to me and stressful.

At my wedding my father told my mother that she "did ex-wife well" - not everyone acts an ass after divorce. quite honestly you sound like a child saying you were "shocked" about your DH' s divorced parents. Do you not live in the world? Do you not have any idea that everyone's life experience may not mirror your own?
Do you not know that there are lots of people who remain married and still act like an ass?
Some of your prissy chicks really take the cake.

i'm the pp who posted this.
1- yes, i do "live in the world."
2- never said that everyone acts an ass after divorce. my mil does.
3- yes, i was shocked at seeing the hostile and negative behavior between 2 60 yr olds.
4- i think we all know who the prissy one is, and it ain't me.

Well I don't know what "world" you are inhabiting that as a grown ass woman you found it "shocking" that there are 60 yr old people who do not know how to act.
Grow up
