How many times has this happened to you? [View All]

[Pale Blue Dot]

Thursday night I took my girlfriend to dinner with my ex-wife and my son. The ex and I have a good relationship, and we have remained friends. Since the girlfriend and I are getting pretty darned serious (:loveya:), we thought it was important for the ex to meet someone who will be spending a lot of time with her son.

The dinner went fine. However, the already awkward situation was made even more so by the fact that one of the waitresses at the restaurant was my son's teacher last year. She came over to the table to say "hi", and I can only imagine what must have been going through her head when she saw the four of us sitting at the same table.

By the way, I asked the ex later what she thought of my girlfriend, and she said, "She was sweet. I wasn't expecting her to be so sweet" (:wtf:). I guess she thinks the reason our marriage failed was because she was sweet? :shrug:

Has that ever happened to you?
