Dear Princess,
A friend of my boyfriend's has just filed for divorce after finding out her husband has been cheating on her. This comes as a complete shock to all of us, and is really very devastating. We are seeing her tonight for the first time at a very small get together. Is there proper etiquette of how to act, what to do or say, whether to bring something for her (a bottle of wine) as a gesture? Although she might not want to talk about it, I don't want to not acknowledge how sorry we are.
Sympathetically Baffled
Dear Reader,
Here is what you do: When you see her, you take her hand and give it a gentle squeeze and give her a reassuring smile. If she wants to talk about it she will--but this gesture tells her you are there for her.
