thoughts on appropriateness of response ?

so i recently got divorced and have had a couple of situations where i am uncertain if the way i responded is the best way as i don’t really want to make people uncomfortable. but i also don’t want to lie and frankly i am ok about the situation and happier for it. and part of me also am not sure if it will somehow change the way they view me 🙄🙄

most common scenario i have been having is this - with a client - somehow conversation leads to questions or statements about (ex) husband and a response is warranted

at the moment if it’s not a client that i am close with i just keep trying to deflect or change topic or whatever. in the hopes of trying to move it on. because i feel like if i said im divorced, it becomes awkward, person will apologise, then i have to like say its ok it’s ok - then it becomes weird and i also think it might be TMI. but i also feel like im lying ….

if its a client im close with, sometimes i just tell them, because it feels weird and wrong to lie or deflect (honesty and relationships is quite important in my job field) but then i also have to deal with the oh no im so sorry is everything ok are you ok response - and then i have to respond with a its ok it’s ok everything is fine dont worry about it 😅😅 and then its like i dont know - there is some awkwardness and i have to move things along — so i wonder whether they actually prefer me to not say anything ….
or if there is a better way to deal with this

my second most common scenario with like random service staff or shop staff when my kid is with me - who will ask where is the dad 😅😅😅 then it’s like i either have to just avoid the whole issue and say oh he never come or i say oh im divorced. the former is not preferred because my kid will be confused i think but then now i have to say it’s ok it’s ok to the person and then it’s awkward again 😅😅😅

help 😅😅😅
