I was telling some co-workers about my birthday plans for tomorrow night and one co-worker said "you two are so f@cked up!" referring to STBX and myself. I replied jokingly "well, I don't see you offering to take me out for dinner, thank goodness I have an ex-wife who cares" my co-worker, who is well known as a rather gruff individual, then says "lets face it, would you really want to have dinner with me?" and I said "actually NO!" Honesty is the best policy!
