Is it socially acceptable to receive flowers from someone at work who is going through a divorce?

I myself am going through a divorce and feel that people might judge me if they knew that the person sending flowers is indeed over his spouse.

Is it socially acceptable to receive flowers from someone at work who is going through a divorce?
They're flowers. He isn't bending you over your desk and playing hide the sausage in full view of your office-mates. Relax! Thank him for the flowers.
Reply:not acceptable. really what was the sender thinking,... at work. bad place to mix in home/personal life especially in a questionable time for both parties. Nothing like airing all your laundry to the nosy. The work place is not the place, you need to be maintaining integrity and respect there. you both should cool the public displays until the divorces are final and you are truly free to date.
Reply:You should graciously accept them, but don't display them on your desk or something. Maybe the person has no romantic feelings for you. Maybe the flowers are to say, "I know what you are going through; you can do it" or something.
Reply:you already know the answer but I will say it for you NO is your answer. Neither you nor he are in any position to be taking up with each other and I am not just talking about how it will look. You should not accept his advances while he is still married. You should also be careful that you are not willing to jump into something that will take your mind off of your own failed marriage and the pain of your divorce. Slow it down and let his jets cool off. You might be the one to help him through his divorce but if you are I will bet you cash that you won't be the one he takes up with once he gets over his divorce. Do not let yourself be used, girl. Get on with your own new life building.
