I managed to piss off two people while talking about what is going on in my life... first i have a friend who has been in a very unhappy marriage for a while whose husband just recently filed for divorceand while discussing the fact that my husband is in jail and has a potentially deadly addiction and our whole family is plastered all over the news every night she said "I know exactly how you feel." and started talking about her divorce... I said "though i know your divorce is difficult and painful and I'm sorry for that... I am kind of WISHING my husband just wanted a divorce... at least the decision is made... you are going your seperate ways and you don't have to be embarassed and can openly talk about it and ask for help." she won't talk to me anymore... I talked to my mom about it and she did the same thing...s he started talking about my dad leaving our family and how she understood what I was going through... I told her also, that though I know it was painful and difficult... I remember... I was there... I don't think it's the same thing at all. she also got her feelings hurt...am I being insensitive?
Truly, only you know what you feel, the rest of us can try to understand, and each of us go through divorce our own way. Therefore, do not worry about others, they should have listen to you, instead of telling their own story. Wishing you health and happiness. God bless you.
