Wow! I am sorry this woman you thought was a friend has invaded and disrespected your boundaries like this.

A lot of the time people genuinely don’t know what to do when friends divorce. It’s not unusual for people to distance. It doesn’t mean they are choosing sides, mostly they distance thinking it’s being respectful.

Yet there are times when a spouse will reach out and play the victim and even that can be a challenge in how to respond. It’s definitely awkward.

People we think we know can surprise us in ways that can really make us question our judgement.
