The story so far…

The Group Hug originally started out as ‘The Ascot and Sunninghill First Wives Club’, it was a local Facebook Group and was founded on 26th February 2017 when I wrote:

“You know the feeling, you are divorced, or getting divorced…The dinner party invitations have dried up, you are seen as a ‘threat’ to every husband in the country, by every wife.

​I was fed up with being excluded, especially as I always used to be the social organiser for my friends when I was married. As soon as I became single, suddenly I was discarded.

​New beginnings!

The Group Hug grew from a local coffee meet-up group to what it is today; a nationwide, online support group for men and women;

You may be getting divorced, or have been through it. Maybe you are widowed or have simply never found the right person. Your ‘children’ may be young adults, off to University and you are dealing with empty nest syndrome?

Whatever it is, we are all here to support each other.

​We have a safe and anonymous space to speak freely in our facebook forum. Simply change your real name to a posting name. We have experts who drop into the chats to answer questions from time to time.
