You're welcome. Believe it or not it's paraphrased from Jurrasic Park.

If you are friends, you could just say, "This is my friend Hildy. Hildy, this is Geert." If you aren't friends anymore, why are you socializing?

That doesn't mean I didn't find it awkward, while I was separated. Now that I am divorced, I am no longer "divorced", I am "not married." Less a need to explain anything, and I don't get judgement-looks.

As someone who very rarely drinks, that sounds like a lot of brew... I do enjoy watching others tie one on, so :cheers:

How do you introduce or refer to a spouse from whom one has been separated for several years, divorce coming as soon as wife gets a job with benefits. Not with friends, but with casual acquaintances, new people, etc.

"my soon to be ex"?
"my ex"?
"Joe/Sue"?

It is socially embarassing when someone says "ex" but then launches into the explanation of how they are separated but not divorced yet but will be at some point, even though they are still good friends... :blahblah: But how else to put it? If you say "ex" people ask if you are dating, then you have to backtrack and say, "well, we're really not divorced yet..."
Defendant? :shrug:

On the social roster back when I was in the Navy I felt bad because I did not have anything in the spouse column so I wrote "Defendant". the goofball YN just typed it. The CMC didn't think it was funny at first but he let me keep it.

Hmmmm....Before I was divorced my ex came to visit our daughter. At one point we were on good terms till I found out he had been sleeping with a much older woman the time we were married...so while he was down I introduced him to a few of my friends as "This is the arse hole that has been F$#%^*&^ someone my mothers age."

Needless to say we don't speak! :lmao:

Your best bet is to introduce your soon to be ex by their first name.

Mine is referred to as "That funny decaying smell behind the University Place Apartments in VA Bch" not that I know anything about that at all. :whistle:
