A friend sent me a link on FB this morning. It said house for sale. Since she and I share an interest in looking at homes..what I found was surprising. For sale sign read: Husband left us for 22 year old. House for sale by scorned,slightly bitter, newly single owner. I read this with my morning coffee. All the while I was thinking IF this were me, I doubt I'd have the gumption to put it out there for the world. http://www.greatfamilyhome.com/index.html if you want to read it.

I checked the link and read the blog. Sounds she wants to share what she feels. Maybe it helped her feel better. I haven't write any article about my separation, maybe because I don't know what will my kids feel if they will come to read about it. Maybe someday, I need to talk with kids about it if they agree. Everyone of us has different opinion and thinking.

I think asking your kids is a good idea. I hope she did the same thing.

I believe that, for some people, this behavior is a spiteful attack on the one who wronged them. For others, however, it might be cathartic. Sometimes, when we are upset, we look for someone to share that feeling with even if they may not be able to do anything to make us feel better. I suppose it might be like that for this woman.

No, I don't think I would. I'd find it embarassing.

I think her blog is her own way on releasing some of the pain caused by her divorce.

I would never do that but she might have done that due to some reasons, I look at this way, -maybe she is addicted to facebook and likes to share everything with the world. -maybe she is just so cross that she doesn't know what she is doing at the moment. -To get buyers fast by the sad story -to tell her friends on facebook but forgot that the whole world is on facebook -trying to send message to someone indirectly -trying to tell the world how bad her husband is all these but she only knows what she is going through, I feel so said for hurt. I heart is like bleeding when i hear all these things. I can actually put myself in her shoes and feel what she must be going through.

She might be so down at this point of time, a scenario with no one to talk with. So she managed to blurt it out to FB. It can be informative for those people who knows her like you, she might asking for empathy from real friends.

I didnt read the link but it sounds like she is trying to enforce shame on her husband by doing this, making it a point to say he left them for a 22 yr old. I am not sure if I would air my dirty laundry in this way but I don't know I guess if I was hurt and mad enough I might but I don't really see the point it's not like it hurts the husband in anyway if that is what she was trying to do. Sometimes I think people share to much of their life's with others and the Internet and then those are the same ones who are complaining about drama and people talking about them when they are the ones who open their own can of worms.

Maybe, that made her feel better. Some people do need to talk just to feel okay and be relieved from the pains and hatred caused by her husband leaving her. Anyway, if it was my case, I don't think I would do as she did. Yeah, I can talk about it but those who are close to me and to someone that I trusted.

Some people just like the whole world to know about bad things that happened to them. Perhaps they like to have people pitying them or maybe they want to attract people attention. Some may just feel bad for them and willing to buy the house from them without negotiating cheaper price. Perhaps this is one way to promote things. I myself would not have done so as people does not need to know that detail to buy my house.

Sometimes, people just feel the need to vent out or something to come into terms with their situation. I for one, personally is not comfortable letting people know, especially those complete strangers, the details about my marriage. We cannot tell what's running in her mind when she did that; it could definitely add traffic and make people curious enough to cast an eye on the house. Some would even just take a look out of curiosity and ends up buying the place. The possibilities are endless. I still believe that there should be some extent as to what a person should share for the whole world to read; but then since I really don't know her personally it wouldn't be fair for me to judge her. I can just speak for myself.
