happily ever after

I sure inserted my foot into my mouth this last week. Totally funny story. I was eating lunch with my mom when I ran into my old boss. He owns a few tanning salons and I haven't worked for him since I was 19 so it's been awhile since I have seen him. We started chatting and he was sitting with a woman that I had never seen before. We were right next door to one of his salons so I assumed (shouldn't do that) that she was a manager/employee/window washer of his. Now when I worked for him, he was married to a wonderful woman, had a daughter going to college and I assumed (again, shouldn't do that) that he was happily married. So I asked him, How his wife was doing. Right then the lady says "oh, I am doing great"......... I think I turned a deep shade of burgundy and said back, "Oh, wow, it really has been a long time since I have seen you." as he is blurting out, oh yes I have a new wife. I was mortified. After that we said good bye and I chalked it up to asking someone if they are expecting when they aren't. whoops.
