What is up with my friends and family talking about my “next” relationship, while in the middle of a divorce?

"I am going to take some time to be single and figure out my next move in life but thank you for your concern"

That is what I would say or something like that

Because for some reason, they think it's a comfort to you. You need to tell them flat out, that you don't like it, and it makes you uncomfortable.

Only one person in the universe is going through a divorce?

Idk the context, but they if they are normally good people, they probably are just trying to subconsciously support you and let you know you are worthy of a good guy and relationship. I doubt they mean I’ll will.

Clearly, your family despises your soon-to-be-ex-husband.

Ha! Your family is the polar opposite of mine! When I was going through my divorce, my sisters/stepmom actually said that they felt that if I were to even so much as go out on a date before my son was 10 years old(he was 5 at the time of the divorce) that I should have him taken by CPS because clearly that would mean that I was more interested in getting laid than raising my son.

BTW, I actually did not date until my son was 11. I met my (now) husband, we dated, and then ultimately got married. That still made me irresponsible, and a tramp in their eyes. I have been married 8 years this month. This marriage has lasted longer than my previous one. My son is successfully adulting now, and I still have 2 more at home.

Point is, letting cobwebs gather in your nethers or not doesn't change who you are as a parent. Date when you are ready, not when someone else thinks you are.

And I fucked up. I married a narcissist who knew exactly how to tell me what I wanted to hear and give me everything I thought I was missing in my first marriage. I fell fast and hard and didn’t pay attention to red flags because I’ve known him forever.

So instead of letting myself and my kids continue to be punished for a mistake I made. I’m getting out before what we have went through gets worse.

I’m embarrassed and ashamed and feeling very very dumb used manipulated
I could make a post but does anyone really care except to try to make me feel worse than I already do?
