I was once married to a neurosurgeon. No joke. What was a joke was when someone would say, “Well you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to figure that out,” and my ex could say, “But I am.” Actually it was one of the threads of his existence waiting for someone to say that in his presence. And they did several times in the eight years he was in practice. And frankly, it was funny every time.
What isn’t funny is that now The Widow (the woman who was married to my ex-husband when he died) tells me she has a date tomorrow night. It’s her first date since becoming a widow, she says. And the date is with? You guessed it. Another neurosurgeon.
And I wonder only one thing — how his wife feels about that.
August 31st, 2007Well, uh…given the circumstances of your divorce, I’d say it was a reasonable thing to assume. Weird. You’re right, you can’t make that shit up!
August 31st, 2007Sounds like you’re projecting
August 31st, 2007You’re so naughty. Heehee
September 1st, 2007She didn’t ask you to babysit, did she?
I see she said this was her first date as a widow, but when was the last time she dated someone who wasn’t married?
And what constitutes a “date”? If she sleeps with a married man, but they never go out to dinner or a movie, are they dating? Somehow, I never considered what went on with her and your ex as “dating.”
And why is she telling you this?
I hope she gives you all the details.
September 1st, 2007Clearly, I’ve got to go back and read old blogs…. You two are this close that you discuss such details. Wowie-wow-wow, as Junie B. Jones says.
Looking forward to hearing the details, too!
September 4th, 2007So how are you going to find out how the date went?
September 4th, 2007Loved that, “wonder how his wife feels about it”
Wonder what her fetish with neuros is? Hmmm..
March 9th, 2008You must be awfully fake to her face for her to tell you something of such privacy, that is frankly none of your business.
March 9th, 2008had to do it///
March 10th, 2008OK, I did my snooping, and now I see Susan Anthony’s comment. I guess she doesn’t know that your ex cheated on you with this woman,and that might have something to do with your first thought.
I think it’s interesting that you still talk (or did in August when you posted this) with the woman, but I guess you have things and people in common. So, all these months later…did she marry him?
March 20th, 2008Well I think that’s terribly funny and snarky — especially given the circumstances!
