Everyone sees your life through the lense that is their own life.
The expectation is that your separation or divorce or whatever will be similar to someone else's. But there is at the very least variation, and sometimes, sometimes, a life can be unique. I don't hate my ex and spew vile about her constantly. Some people cannot seem to imagine it, and try to draw me into conversations with comments in the middle of their venting that end with "and you know what that's like". Yes, sometimes I need to vent, too, and sometimes there are issues.
But my separation is like my marriage was, only without as much of the negative. Just my experience, possibly no one else's.
