Dear Doyenne, I am looking for some wisdom here about two things. I am divorced 4 years ago, and I am wondering:
1, What is your opinion about whether I need to disclose my status at work? Can I just vaguely say I am single? Will this make people feel I am not close to them if I don't talk much about personal status when everybody is talking about their kids and husbands, things like that.
2, When I go on a date, what do I say? Do I go completely honest and tell the person the first time we meet that I am divorced? Or I only disclose when asked? Do I need to explain why I was divorced? It was my ex's fidelity issue, but will I be generating sympathy that I do or do not necessarily need here?
I am looking forward to your cool advice! thanks so much!!

I am not the
