Moved too fast? Now what?

[Bing]

Open question for LBS out there: What have you found to be the best way to tell family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. about divorce or separation?

I haven't told a soul besides my therapist and this web site. It's a combination of shame and wishful thinking that everything would work out.

Do I tell anyone about the affair stuff? WW has said she's really nervous about the kids finding out someday and wants to keep it a secret from them. For me, I want support but I think I want privacy more. I don't want anyone to be overbearing while I work through it. I kinda want to be left alone.

What worked well for anyone else out there?
