My wife is leaving me, but not because of Joanie
My wife has said that she is still interested in going out with Joanie for drinks, lunch, or whatever.
I respect all the positive/well meaning comments posted before mine, however I live my life as a realist... To me, the odds of either of the quotes above being factual are remote. Not that the OP is lying, but I think after the dust has settled on "Independance" day the tune will change...or end...

Someone has to remind him that divorce is very seldom completed with mutual respect and friendship, so sure, think positive but don't ever forget to check your 6...
