Insensitive questioning after a breakup

[Jellyeggz]

I am very newly single after a 3 year relationship and I can’t help but be stunned by the questions people ask, and I’m not even talking about friends, but colleagues and acquaintances.
“Oh my God, I thought you guys were so happy”….”I thought you were going to get married”…”Who did it?”….”Why did he do it?”….”Do you think you’ll get back together?”

I’m in a fragile state at the moment so maybe I’m just being precious but I would never ask or say those things to someone I don’t know all that well – I struggle to imagine saying some of those things to friends – they strike me as deeply personal. I’m getting more and more wound up with every question people feel entitled to ask!

It really is nobodies business! You are quite right. I have had similar from people after a recent break up and after a few weeks they don’t even bother talking to you. They pretend to be your friend to get the gossip then they are off. Try to keep things as private as possible it’s why I am on here rather than venting to others.
It’s so difficult after a relationship has ended, hope you are doing ok?

I agree OP it's rude and intrusive asking such questions. Hope you're doing OK

Thanks all - doing as well as can be expected - it’s all peaks and troughs I suppose!
