I actually filed for divorce twice, and both divorces timed out before they were finalized. During my 2nd attempt to divorce, I hid my relationship status on Facebook-I did not want anyone to know if I married or single. I took my engagement ring and wedding band off and eventually sold them for a small amount of money (I just wanted someone else to have those rings-I was too sad about what those rings represented). I kept the divorce private with my close friends and relatives and occasionally shared with other people. My plan was to keep my married last name. I mean it just was not something that I wanted shouted out to everyone in the galaxy (especially on Facebook). It felt like a failure. I have seen my friends on Facebook come out that they are now single and normally it is gradually and when they are ready. Divorcecare at a local church helped me a lot with having a supportive group.
