[QUOTE="Star*, post: 96897, member: 4964"] Karen, There isn't going to be a "good" time to tell anyone that you are getting a divorce. Ever. (Well in my case there was). Get on our list instead - we all know your situation and don't care about it - we just care about you. It would be the excitement of sending out cards - It would be the hope of getting cards back - It's making new acquaintances - It's keeping the Christmas Spirit with out inquiring minds - And if you need some snappy come backs as to WHY you have not called anyone up and told them you're divorcing? I can't think of a better board to help you with that - can you? "my private life is still private" worked for me. Although I did get one call from someone I could not stand (ever) and I said " I didn't call you and tell you we were divorcing? I am [b]so[/b] sorry, what a witch you must think [b]I am[/b], I am [b]so so[/b] sorry, Of course when I thought of divorcing, I thought to myself, NOW I SHOULD CALL (her name) right away and cry, cry, cry on the phone and meet her for coffee and drinks or dinner, but then again - I figured since you were [b]DOING[/b] my husband HE would have told you." -dead silence. ANY MORE QUESTIONS I CAN HELP <span style='font-size: 12'>YOU</span> WITH (her name) -I heard a faint no-sorry to bother you bye. I told you - my life? Science Fiction. Of course she called the one that came into the club and "bared" her soul about how sorry SHE was for sleeping with him - and that's the one that I said "Gosh he has AIDS" you should get tested; then walked away grinning. She started crying. I didn't care. I'll just say this - because sometimes the fact that it's OUR life makes the pain more real to us, but my x had numerous affairs - I couldn't WAIT to send out Christmas cards from just myself and my son. We even DREW on the envelopes - it was good. [/QUOTE]
