According to Esposito, honest, authentic, and brief responses are all that’s required when talking to people about your divorce.

“Making space and time to deal with the emotional turmoil in your life means limiting unnecessary or lengthy explanations. Bottom line: your life, your divorce, your future.”

Though you may feel obligated to explain exactly why your marriage is ending, especially to loved ones, you don’t actually owe anyone the details of your personal life.

“If a family member has an inappropriate reaction or starts offering unsolicited advice, you can thank them for caring and let them know that you are not in a position to hear what they have to say. Then politely excuse yourself,” Gadoua told INSIDER.

Be honest, but don’t feel you need to justify your decision or invite feedback. Ultimately, the divorce is between you and your partner.
