Ok I decided and told her more because there are lots of friends and acquaintances that don't know it's over and would hate to run into someone and they ask if this is my wife and have to dig myself out of a big hole. She didn't seem to worried and appreciated that I was honest with her.
Cha-ching!! Good for you.
I worked with a guy who said his wife had a major illness and took a bunch of time off work. One evening a guy and his wife came in and asked if Mr. I-Need-Time-Off was there. I said no, we let him take some time off because of Mrs. I-Need-Time-Off's illness and we thought it was important he spend as much time with her as possible ... They both looked flabbergasted! It was obvious they were more than casual friends and quite concerned. I kinda felt bad for them but how was I supposed to know ... I often wonder how Mr. and Mrs. I-Need-Time-Off explained their way out of that one.
People should really be more careful. It's a small, small world! LO
