I've heard her mention her kids, but not her husband, which I find kinda strange. She's only worked here a few weeks and is an absolute scream. She told me this story last night, which was one of the funniest things I've ever heard more from the way she said it than the story itself.
When I'm being light-hearted and giving, she behaves all flirty. When I start acting all serious and needy, she backs off. I'm trying hard to keep this fun despite my deepening desire for her.
I'll learn in due course. I'm not going to stop being friendly with her regardless coz she's way too much fun and I'm just being churlish and hurting her as well if I started creating distance.
Mid fifties, married thirty years. My husband has sweetly asked me to try to outlive him, because he doesn't want to face life alone.
His odds are pretty good. Both our mothers (still living!) outlived our fathers. And our grandmothers...

Ask her only if it becomes too important to not know.Wench says,
For a grumpy old man, you've been topping the charts on Love & Heartbreak. I think that's lovely. =)thesagittarian12 says,
This just gives me a new subject to explore. It's also good writing practice.
