I understand where you are coming from. People DO look at you strangely when you say "divorce." I had no idea in this day and age where divorce is suppoedly common place that I would get the reactions that I have gotten. Part of my issue is that I associate with people who do not divorce. None of my friends are divorced. They all have long, happy marriages (or at least it sure seems that way!). And some of them are even people who have bumper stickers about the importance of marriage on their car and say things like, "well for us, divorce is just not an option." (don't hear that from them anymore, but I used to before everything). So here I am....recently divorced, hurting, confused and feeling like a freak show.
I don't bring it up unless it is asked. And then I feel like I have to give an explaination, which I do. Saying "there was another woman" seems to answer all of the questions. But I still feel looked down upon.
