[QUOTE="DDD, post: 602140, member: 35"] Truly, in my experience, you are darned if you do and darned if you don't. My best suggestion is for you and husband just to decide on one phrase to use when speaking with either of them. "We are both sorry that you all are having such a hard time and care deeply for both of you." "I'll always be your friend but I just can't share your pain." "Why don't we go shopping or have lunch or ??? but not mention X or Y?" I (actually we, the family) were so happy when one of the kids left his spouse that we had a hard time not dancing. on the other hand even though we never said YIPEE and left it at "we hope you both will be happier"...they reunited and actually things have never been the same between us. It's a treacherous thin line and I hope you and husband and avoid the easy pitfalls. by the way, you can suggest a counselor to your friend so she can share all her pain openly. Chances are she will not do it. Sigh. DDD [/QUOTE]
