| It sucks a lot, but many people can't seem to maintain relationships with both people in an "ex couple". That's not to say they took sides or anything, but they may just feel weird about the whole thing. (or they could have taken sides. You will probably never know).
I've been divorced twice (and had a major non-marriage breakup), and three times I've lost my entire social network. I've since learned how to create a social network independent of any SOs.
I'm also dealing with the loss of my cousins (and my aunt). I sent them all small gifts for the holidays and haven't heard a peep out of any of them. No note, no phone call nor email. So I don't know if they packages all got lost in the mail, or they just want to continue to pretend I don't exist. So, I sympathize. I'm on the fence as to whether I'll continue to try to reach out to them. These are people with whom I spent most of my childhood, too. And they're supposed to be family.
