I've struggled with the embarrassment feeling of saying: "hey, I failed as a wife so my H left." I've avoided certain people and events in which I would feel obligated to explain my sitch- partly because I don't want everyone to know, but also because saying it out loud is admitting defeat.
The few people I have shared with- have told me that they never would have known because of how I had been acting. They gave me a huge ego boost by telling me how impressed they were with my dignity and strength. And now that it ou in the open, I don't feel as anxious and it nice to have some new people that I can vent to.
You'll know when you feel comfortable and which people are safe to open up to.
