When to tell your family? Dont-want-one: My wife and I still live together for now. We have a P and S signed for a condo for me and she is going to live there with me until we can sell the house and find her an apt/condo. So when do/did you tell your family. To be quite honest with you I don't want to discuss anything with my family other than the fact we are divorcing... don't want to get into specifics and all that. I also feel I need to tell them to start healing myself, but when I tell them I feel that it will end any chance for my wife to change her mind.. the embarrassment factor will be ther for her and she will never want to be confronted by my family after that.
Re: When to tell your family? JNA: The telling the family thing is a tough one but I do know of people that have told there parents and they actually try to get the two back together
Not trying to give false hope or anything and don't know a lot about the situation...
Hopefully you will find the strength to do what you need to do
These are tough decisions and tough things to go through

Re: When to tell your family? redmacaw1: I told mine the minute I found out. My situation was different I came home to an empty house and no clue it was happening. I called them 2 minutes after I found out. Mostly casue I was in shock and I needed some support.
Re: When to tell your family? kev: You know what? I felt the same way, did not want to discuss anything with my family. It was even harder to talk to them about dv'g than it was with my ex.
I think the best thing is to just be an adult and lay it on the line. they are adults, they can make their own decisions on how they feel about the situation.
when it all boils down, the only people that you have to worry about is you and your ex. the family has made their own opinions about the ex a long time ago.
if you are bitter and dog the ex to your family, they are going to take your attitude. if you just say "hey, it didnt' work out and i wish them the best"
then they will take that attitude.
I waited a LONG time to tell my family, and looking back, it was so dumb to wait. I should have told them as soon as i knew. but, we all do things on our own schedule, you just go with what you feel is right. :-\
Hang in there....
