In a majority of cases, a divorce is never an easy thing to announce. Even if you’re sure, even if it was your idea, and even if you’re sure it’s the right thing for everyone involved – it’s the end of something huge in your life, and unless you were being abused, you and everyone you know is bound to be a little sad for awhile.
That said, there are some right things and some very wrong things to say when someone tells you their marriage is over, and these 11 people?
They made a wrong turn. Read on and learn from their lessons!

9. I guess she didn’t have anything to say.

Otherwise yay for having your back.

4. Well that is truly awful.
What a monster-in-law for the ages.

3. That’s a very interesting response.
And by ‘interesting’ I mean ‘suspicious.’

2. Everybody has to pick a side.
You wouldn’t want traitors on your team, anyway.

1. It’s never a good time to say that.
Literally never. Just stop it.

Yeah, y’all, I feel like some of these no-nos should have been obvious.
