I have only told two co-workers about my separation. Just have no desire to tell anyone else. I'm sure those two have kind of let everyone else anyway. I don't mind that, because they don't put their noses in. Ironic thing is, one of my co-workers is in a similar position. How do I know that? One of the two I confided in told me. So I'm absolutely sure they know about me.
Maybe I am holding on to false hope that things will change more quickly than they actually will, but I haven't told my side of the family yet (two months separated). Embarrassment? Shame? Probably both. Unfortunately W knows this. I'm sure she wouldn't tell them out of spite, but the day is getting closer that I do have to say something....at least to one of my brothers. That could be a good thing, because I can show W that I'm ready to accept things and move on....or at least appear that way.
