        Never been big on whiskey. Mostly rum and vodka. But I will do a whiskey occasionally. I may take you up on it though. :) -- nm - sycor Apr 10, 12:10

    - How? How do I bring it up without it starting the "Why are you looking at my phone?!" argument? -- nm - sycor Apr 10, 11:44 5
      - I wouldn't bring it up directly, but if you haven't had a discussion about what each of you wants out of the separation, you probably should. - Roger More Apr 10, 12:05
      - Just skip that aspect. Suggestion: ask your wife out on a date. - David Apr 10, 11:49 1
        
        I agree with this. -- nm - Inigo Apr 10, 11:49

  - Yeah, don't take the friend's casual remark as definitive. - Dr.Vermin Apr 10, 11:44 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - Huh. That took an odd turn. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 10, 11:47
    - no she's happily married. But, she's my wife's best friend and the one she vents to. So, Im sure there are lots of negative view points as a result. -- nm - sycor Apr 10, 11:45
