Telling family and friends that I was divorcing was a very interesting experience. Some of them reacted in a way that left me feeling disappointed. I don't know what I expected. More questions? More 'and how are you doing?' More kindred connections?
It wasn't their fault, though. No one, especially those who haven't been through one, really knows how to respond to the news of a divorce. And that is something that you just have to remember when going through a divorce. People don't know what to say, they don't know how to talk about it or react. And that just is what it is. They probably felt like a deer in the headlights.
But... DON'T RESPOND LIKE RAYMOND DOES IN THIS CLIP.
Awkward.
