ENGAGED AGAIN?

Dear Franz,

What is the appropriate waiting period after a contentious divorce to announce engagement to another?


Never.

That means, nobody wants to hear about an engagement of someone who just went through a contentious divorce. Why would anybody want to know about that? All you would be doing is letting people know that they're just a couple years away from hearing about yet another one of your "contentious divorces." Big fun!

Just announce the wedding. That way - nobody can say anything about it because it's already said and done.

For example......here are the different responses you would receive:

On your engagement: "Oh my Lord...."

On your marriage: "Oh my!"

If you're ever in the situation to announce something, and you think there's the chance that someone will try to talk you out of it - just make the announcement at the last minute.

Want to buy a car and think someone will talk you out of it? Buy it - then announce it.

Pregnant and think someone will talk you out of it? Wait until fetal viability - then announce it.

And so on and so forth!
