What is the best thing to say to a person who is dealing with the fact that their husband/wife left them for another person?
2006-11-05 07:16:49 · 18 answers · asked by Anonymous in Family & Relationships ➔ Marriage & Divorce
"If you need to talk, you know where to reach me"
"Keep yourself busy and go out often. Staying home will just make you more depressed and thinking about your spouse"
"Do you need a hug?"
"Need a shoulder to cry on?"

There is no good thing to say in that situation. regardless of anything you say or do they are still dealing with betrayal and loss. Just being there will help but it is really something that in time gets better. Get your friend to start dating and maybe just get out of the house a little to take their mind off of things.

Something Specially
For You
I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard-
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)-
I asked Him to send you treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And my friendship to share your way
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small-
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.

When this same thing happened to me, some few years ago, I didn't really want anybody to SAY anything, but rather just be there for me, and treat me like always. I was devastated, sure, but words were not going to ease the pain, so all I wanted was for them to keep on caring for me like they always had, and be a friend to me. I got through it with flying colors, thanks to them.

Tell them "you will survive" and then offer your support to be sure they do. Suggest marriage/divorce forums where they can share and vent to others with a similiar situation. It does help.

Very hard question to answer.
But my suggestion is let him/her know by him/her self. That's better than you have to tell the truth and make more hurt and misery.

Suggest you don't say too much and take them out for a few drinks and meet other people.

You should tell them the truth, evenly if the truth hurts. But try not to give alot of details.

Say nothing. They will just need a trustworthy shoulder to cry on.
