On the inverse side, the ex-husband is not being snubbed because women like having a back-up plan, and the possibility he is a Cavendish.
Keep those bitch lines open, gals. We’re all just dying to know.
I remember in 2nd grade asking my teacher how to spell FRIEND. She told me, and then added, “Remember, there’s always an END to a FRIEND.” I’m pretty sure my eyes got very big as I stared up at her, appalled. But I never forgot it, either the spelling, or the life lesson.
UK Daily Mail...the public psychiatrist’s couch.
She doesn’t say anything about why she and her ex got divorced. That could be a factor.
Women tend to talk about relationships and people. Men tend to talk about things or activities. If the divorced woman griped about her ex to their mutual friends I can see why the woman was less popular than her former husband. Especially if she was overtly or covertly trying to get her friends to take sides.
Feminism has hurt women a great deal.
Best deal ever for women was early marriage, no divorce, stay at home, raise the kids, cook meals, keep the house clean. You really can’t beat that deal.
But they threw it all away. Now they hate their jobs, they divorce their husband, they don’t get along with their kids, and their friends stab them in the back.
They only thing they have left is their confidence that their government loves them and will always protect them and care for them.
Sounds like she herself never had time for any uncoupled women when she was married. Or even direct female friendships at all. Should it be surprising that her social circle would practice the same for her?
“I guess she learned woman are ruthless if you are considered competition”
Women do NOT want an attractive divorced woman hanging around their men.
Maybe she’s a bore and not a likeable person? Maybe she cant keep things to herself? Just a guess...
Been there. Move on. Make a new life. Pity parties are not productive.
I didn’t see why she divorced him. Maybe they thought you hurt him for no good reason and decided they didn’t like you.

His friends, her friends & our friends. If you allow your spouse to dominate the marital social life then their narrative will dominate after a breakup. Simple as that.
People are entitled to all the misery they can heap on themselves in this life!
I have the same friends I had decades ago. Marriage, no marriage, divorce doesn’t matter. We’re friends because we have events and interests (that aren’t about family) in common.
And maybe that’s it, we almost never talk about our families. Personally I find that topic boring.
If the lady in the article spent her time with her “friends” talking about her family then they had nothing in common. No wonder the relationships ended when her marriage did.
She might not be invited because she has the children, which she only mentions once after the divorce.
When I terminated my facebook account, I lost over 200 friends. Nobody cared. Not even me.
Back on the dating scene about 6 years ago, I met a nice looking lady about my age. She shared her story about when she split with her husband (his choice) that all of their friends gravitated to him and still do. She said that none of them see her.
Before our meeting ended I didn’t have the heart to tell her that her personality and manner were slightly less exciting than watching paint dry.
