Obviously, friends made during your married life have to make decisions to whom they wish to remain friendly with. Most of ours decided to side with my ex, and a number of them cut their ties with me with no explanation at all. I ran into one couple last week, and after 2 years of no commuication with them, they started talking to me like I was just over to their home the previous week. Instead of being cordial, I blew up on them.

I thought, and still do think I was within my rights to do so.

What do you think?

That's what totally frosted my A** about it, I called them and told them we were getting a divorce.

I do not agree that you were within bounds to blow up, That was wrong. But you could deservedly decline and disengage further conversation with a

"pardon me, I am not sure I remember you, but I must dash."

I know exactly what you mean. I have no interest in the "friends" (so called) from my married days....

My ex and I are both still friends with the same people from when we were married. Ours was a completely amicable divorce with no animosity involved, and neither of us got "custody of the friends".
