Divorce is a time when you learn who your true friends are. I’m not surprised that most of our guy friends stayed with my exH I after the divorce, but one really disappointed me. He was friends with both of us, we met him as a couple, he lived across the street with his first wife who was in med school with me. He and I hung out as much as he and my husband did, we even went to concerts just the two of us after he was divorced and before he met his second wife. I thought he at least would still reach out to me too, as we had known each other for 26 years, but no.
It’s just what happens, so hold your good friends who have your back close.
Another MD! Don't we have enough stress without our husbands being manchildren? ugh.
Sorry to hear about that "friend". Ex's best friends I hung with a ton, some even when ex wasn't there (eg, when I was in another city for medical training) - one hasn't texted or called or anything. Not about the baby, or what ex did, nada.
His other best friend who is in a happy and healthy marriage calls/texts frequently and sent gifts to the baby. Interestingly - ex hasn't called him back at all nor told him about anything, including the baby or divorce! What a weirdo.
