I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

Ok, thank you WN and GM! I will follow a combination.

Sometimes if they say "Oh, what happened?" I can ask
"Oh, well have you gone through something like this before?"
and they will say "no, thank God!"
then I can say "yeah,it's really hard." and change the subject or walk away.

Today someone did ask me if I wanted more kids, and that is how I did explain that I was going through a divorce. I said
"well, I DID but now I am not sure because I am going through a divorce."

So I do know this: it might be hard for the first week, but I will have a canned q or response and then my positive attitude will distract them from my sitch, right???

(but come on--- it is rude for a total stranger to ask!! I think, though, that I have been guilty of asking q's when at a party...now I will be better!)
