Default Re: Surrounded by seperation

Yes, divorce is difficult, even if it's a mutual decision. Please be there for them. Tell them that you don't understand their decision or situation, but you are there if they need you.

There are some things that happened between my wife and I that I won't discuss with anyone, because it's our business really and nobody else's. The main reason for our divorce is that we are incompatible. We each have needs that the other can't fulfil. If a friend came up and asked me, I would tell them that. If you are close to them, you are likely to get the full story, or at least most of the story.

Don't pry too much though, especially now. Just offer support and be a good friend to them. If they know you aren't judging them, and are there for them, they will probably end up telling you what happened.
