Wary couples Irene: Now that my ex is gone, I find couples are uncomfortable to invite me. They must think I will steal their husbands. Morons. How do I explain to them, its still "me"?
Re: Wary couples INCT (Guest): Irene,
I know what you mean. Some couples that I know are secretly afraid that I am contagious. That hanging around a divorced guy, who has been their friend for a long time will spread to them. It kind of sucks because I have some really old friends who are very distant, but others (who are couples) who really welcomed me in as friend going through tough times. I guess I really found out who my friends are.
I'm sorry I can't offer any advice about your friends, other than I went through it as well.

Re:Wary couples janee: You quickly find out who your true friends are single or married. Please read my response to the second posting, under "Friend Trouble". Hopefully, it somewhat helps.
Re:Wary couples Misha: You know what don't worry about it, Some people have this old fashioned belief that married people shouldn't hang out with single people because singles can do things that married can't but in our day and time most married people do things that singles would never do (that's how most of us got divorced anyway) But in all reality some married couples are jealous of a recently divorced person or single person because then that gets them thinking of what they could have done or would do if the shoe was on thier foot instead of yours!
