@Gamanit,
I couldn’t disagree more with your suggestions. The divorcee is going through a hard enough time with the stigma of divorce, people taking sides without knowing the truth about who did what to who, and asking for invitations is very uncomfortable for many people. I believe the onus should be on the inviters. Look around you next time in your neighborhood for who might need a meal and some company. Don’t wait for people to ask you to invite them,most times it will not happen unless you’re very close to them which is a whole different issue.
Seriously? You’re saying people have to assume you want to eat by them? Do people in your community typically invite married couples for regular shabbos meals? If so, you can expect invitations. If it’s not the norm, why should people think to single you out for being divorced? Most divorcees say that they just want to be treated like everyone else.
