For example, I would find it hard to socialize with someone if they just up and abandoned their family and all of their familial obligations. It does seem really hard to believe that someone I would like in the first place is capable of such a thing. But then again, people do crazy things. Assuming that nothing during the divorce revealed a character trait that would make someone a bad friend or person, I would like to think that my husband and I would treat both spouses like we would treat any other single friend. I know one thing for sure, I would not react positively towards requests to "choose sides" or ditch one of the former spouses all together.
