Hi. I've posted on the Infidelity section, but never here before. My husband and I have been together for 22 years and he had an affair a couple of months ago. He never wanted to try and make it work with me and basically chose the other woman. So I filed for divorce. I'll be getting the final paperwork soon.
I do need some advice, please. I am having a very hard time telling people that I'm getting divorced. There is a small group of people that I talk openly with, but at some point I know I need to tell my friends and acquaintances what's been going on. How do I do that? I am so disappointed that I'm getting a divorce. And really, I'm ashamed. I feel like a failure. I know I tried everything I could to save my marriage, and I know that I never walked away, he did. I just have no clue how to start the conversation. I am a very private person and I'm nervous that people will want details. I don't want a divorce, but I understand this is how my life is now.
How do I get past the shame and embarrassment of failing at my marriage? How do I tell people what happened? I'm so clueless. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
