You forgot "pet my cat" and "feed my cat" and "cuddle with my cat" and "tell my cat that they already have food and won't be getting any more" and "feed my cat again".
I'm going through a divorce right now. For the most part the friends and people I've told have largely been supportive of me. I think it helped that I had friends that were my own and not shared with my ex-wife. The shared friends we had together have mostly supported her, but they were her friends before we had met. One of the things I have done since splitting is getting more involved with my hobby that is improv theater. Finding a hobby where you are around others can help with building a group of friends who know you not through your ex or past relationship. It would make it more likely that they would support you and not her.
I'm good at navigating places, but GPS has made it a less useful skill.
