I need a breezy response!

[siucra]

I am in the process of getting divorced and all my close friends and family know. However my self and soon to be ex work in the same organisation. Everyone will know n the next few weeks and I am bracing myself for all the commiserations. But what do I say back? I don't want to have t look all sad if I don't feel it, yet I need something practical and breezy. Any advice?

Just say 'don't be sad, I'm not'.

"Things just didn't work out" then change subject. Might be worth reading the headlines or something for a while to get some other things to talk about.
