Do you still visit your relatives when you are divorced?

[verysadguy]

During CNY? I used to visit them every year during CNY when I was single or married but ever since my divorce, I feel like I have no face to visit them. I am scare they would be asking about my marriage so I think the best option is to not visit them. what would you do?

I think there is nothing wrong in visiting your relatives. They are yours to treasure. I think the underlying factor is about how are you facing your own divorce. Do u view in as a shameful thing? Or are you accepting it positively? I think you need to recognize that there is nothing shameful or embarrass about it. And take it positive . . Visit your relatives and if they ask about your marriage, just reply with a smile on your face and you an even joke about it. As long as they know that you are taking it well, they would not bother much.

Hi, I went for visiting this yr.. and my divorce was made in 2013. The relatives does ask about what happen, some even ask me when am I gg to be a mother etc.. But I come to the point that I cant run away.. and I didnt want my parent be the one who got bombard by all the questions, therefore I face them, tell them the truth, and all of them surprisingly stand and support me. I also joke about it, like telling them, I decide to take ang bao rather than give.. haha... I agree with sadman2009, there is nothing to be shameful about or embarrass about it.

But if you are still not ready to face all qns than I advise u not to. Its not easy to face the pain again....
