New normal
I am going through my second divorce and it is ugly. I was isolated from my social network by my soon to be ex wife and am strughling making new friends at 38.

I am sorry you are going thru this it is never pleasant.
The friend's thing is real but not always taking sides. Friends are isolated too not wanting to appear to take sides thinking sometime later they could reconnect, but most do not. Time past and awkwardness many lose friends forever.
I was close to a couple and when they divorced because I was friends with ex first, I was deemed only the ex's friend...... and lost someone I enjoyed being friends with. They both lost so many friends like that It is sad.

Thank you. It is a rough road to navigate.
@raspberryCranberry7502 I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a divorce and it's not as amicable as you may have hoped. I hope that your soon to be wife could at least learn to be cordial to get all the things taken care of that need to be with no ill feelings. I'm sorry you're struggling with meeting people and making no friends. That's got to be lonely, but I am glad you are here on 7 Cups. I hope you feel cared for, supported, and welcomed here! ♡☆ Anyway, I just wanted to say I love what you titled your thread-- "New Normal". You're exactly right! Because of what's going on currently in your personal life... this is a new normal for you and all I can say is that I hope you can navigate best you can. Good luck and take care!
