And the Wife of the Year Award Goes to...
True story: So, I just got home from dining out tonight. I walk by this table with a woman in her late 30's. She's attractive, but looks very unhappy. She's sitting with her two teen boys. A few moments later, the manager of the restaurant comes over and joins them. (I had already taken seat a few feet from them). I honestly have no idea what they're talking about until their tones reach a certain tension level and I can without a doubt hear what's going on.
She tells the boys to go find another seat. There is a sadness in their faces as they sluggishly walk to another booth. They are both well-dressed and well-behaved, so I imagine they come from an upper middle-class upbringing and the father was likely laid off and had to take what he could get to support the family- like a management position at this restaurant. Anyways, so a few moments later I hear the truth- she's leaving him. The poor guy is sitting there trying to maintain his composure. I suspect this wasn't the first time they've had this conversation, but the fact that she brought the boys into his place of work, and they actually ate a meal, and then proceed to tell her husband she's leaving just struck me as a really shitty thing to do. So, the poor guy is heartbroken. The boys are sitting there all heartbroken to hell as well. But, what kills me is this guy has to hug his boys good-bye and then expect to go back to work as though nothing happened. He handled it like a pro- I'll give him that much. But damn, I can't believe she had the audacity to bring her children to his place of work and divorce him right there in front of his co-workers and other diners. What a b*tch. |

Wonder if she feared what he would do if she told him in private...

That's precisely what I was thinking while sitting there. Which then made me worried about the fact that he might go ballistic anyways.

Yeah, but in front of the kids at his workplace? No way. Pick up a phone, bitch.

Yup! You never know. Most likely seeing the tail end of things...not all the facts here. Still, though she could have left the kids somewhere.

Marriage is an institution. I escaped the asylum and nobody is ever getting a straight-jacket on me again.
