"If I ever get divorced . . . "

You let that statement linger in the air between us, an open invitation for future possibilities.

I've heard similar sentiments from numerous married women over the years - at least five come to mind as I write this - and I've never figured out the "right" response to give under the circumstances.

"I'll be looking forward to it. Give me a call when your marriage dissolves."

If our (hypothetical) children ever ask, we'll tell them we met while reading to the blind or building school houses for impoverished children in South America. Yeah, that sounds good.
