I don't think it is common. I've known plenty of people who divorced, yet kept it civil. Talking about with a friend is one thing everyone needs to talk about their problems, but slandering your ex is a sign of immaturity. Divorce is hard enough without causing more problems.They are usually trying to justify what happened. You both probably are.
The sad part is there are no winners. Our friends literally choose sides. The church ladies ran to him like dogs in heat with caseroles and offers for "TAKE ME" . We were big in the church ministry when we separated it was hideous.
He made up lies that I was running off with a guy on the internet. I had church members shunning me in public forget the fact that he was sleeping with someone else before.
People will believe the lies. My kids told me divorce is like war and all things are fair in love and war. But you know what I have that he doesn't. EVERY wedding or event we have to show up together I can look him in his eyes he can't look me in the eyes.
The best and I mean the best revenge is to be happy. You have heard it a million times but it is the one true thing that drives the other person crazy. Did I mention I have a great job in another state with a degree and just bought my own home with a swimming pool? I know what I'm talking about.
