Anyone else hate to admit you're divorced?

[Starshyne]

beenthere: you aren't the only one listening to the problems and like some bizarre freak giving out advice. Yesterday I said to him, "you realize that you are telling your ex-wife this and wanting advice from your ex-wife?" He says that I am the only rational person he knows. One thing that I think plays into it is that we have been friends for such a long time. No one really understands him like I do just because I have been around him for so long. But I know that it brings me some pleasure is hearing that he is going through some of the exact stuff he brought upon me.

I don't understand the double standard of divorce, but I was right there with it. The wife must have done something or not done something to make the husband act the way he did. If nothing else, I have learned so much about how I was judging people.

I don't know what to tell you about the name change thing. I wanted my name back (but then I do not have children), but I just hate going over it again and again. I seriously am hoping that things aren't as awful as I think they will be at work in 3 weeks.
