This may be too much like the "Parent Talk" thread, but I have some other questions I'd like to ask. Does anyone have parents (or other close loved ones) who are in the middle of a divorce/separation? How have you handled this situation in terms of your pending engagement? Does it at all determine your timeline? I ask because my parents' separation has definitely influenced my ideas about timing. I feel like it would be very hard on my mom if I got engaged right now. That being said, I have no idea when she might feel better about it. I'm trying so hard to be sensitive, but we don't talk about her situation AT ALL, so I have no idea how she is actually feeling. I don't think I will have any way of knowing how much the separation is affecting her, and if/when it becomes easier for her. I'd love to hear different perspectives on this situation, since I don't know anyone IRL who can relate.
