ForVirg Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 I'm wondering if anyone else here has any thoughts on how you dealt with friends and family after DDay? I've withdrawn from everyone so now they are all calling and wanting to know what's up and I'm not even sure I want to talk to any of them about this. At least not right now. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Anyone have any personal experiences on that subject to relate?
whichwayisup Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 What you've been through is noone's business, so if they are asking questions, all you have to say is that you're dealing with some things that are going on in your life and when/if you're ready, you'll talk about it.
reservoirdog1 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 After my D-Day, WXW understandably didn't want me to tell anybody about her serial cheating. During the two months we attempted to work on the marriage before she called it off, I said nothing to my family, other than that we were having some major marital difficulties. I'm close to my family, so not telling them the whole story at a time like that was one of the hardest things I've ever done -- I couldn't rely on WXW for emotional support, and I denied myself access to my family for that just to make her happy. After she called it off, however, I told them. That pissed off WXW, but by then I didn't care. They were incredibly supportive during the roughest period of my life, and WXW and I are now divorced.
