> It's never fun to ask someone who just got divorced how their spouse is doing. Right, same for a lost pregnancy, but that’s not a subject to post to social media. Personally I would not advertise a divorce there either. It’s only natural to expect someone to ask about such things because they’re not up to date, and I find that okay. The fact they’re asking even if I hadn’t told them is expected and makes me feel better they even asked. I was in such a situation where I had to think about expecting “how is xyz” questions. Friends are genuinely asking. I don’t fault them not knowing what I didn’t tell them. Edit: Remember before social media? No similar method other than perhaps a website or email (90s) or simple telephone calls.
