some dates want the divorce timeline like it's a podcast episode. others freeze when i mention an ex-husband at all.

i'm not hiding. i also don't want my past to be the main character every time we get chips.

how much context is polite vs oversharing.

    one sentence early, details later if it matters. "i was married to a man, out later, that's the headline."

    anyone who needs a full deposition on date two is collecting lore, not listening.

    headline approach. yes.

    you don't owe trauma karaoke for chips. ever.

    if they freeze at "ex-husband," that's their sorting hat moment, not your failure.
