Good grief, talk about bad timing…

I guess there’s never a perfect time or place to tell someone you want to end your marriage with them, but you could at least have some kind of consideration for the setting, right?

Well, most people would think so!

But there are exceptions to every rule…and that’s not a good thing.

In this story, a restaurant worker talked about the sad scene they witnessed when a man decided to tell his wife he wanted to split up…while they were out to dinner.

Yikes!

Read on and see what you think.

A husband divorced his wife at my table.

“This was in 2018, but I still think about it often and just had to share.

Had a couple come in who seemed really happy, they were having their first date night since they had a baby and wife was really excited to finally have a reason to get a sitter.

A nice night out can go south in a hurry…

They ordered drinks, an app, and their meals. Things seemed to be going well at first but as the night progressed things seemed to take a turn. Subtle things like started off holding hands across the table but stopped by the time drinks were out. Weren’t as chatty by the time the salads were out.

Oh my god, this isn’t good!

By the time I brought their meals out, there was an orange envelope on the table next to the guy with his wedding ring on it. She was sobbing. He said he’d take his in a to-go box and the checks would be separate.

He left as soon as his tab was paid, and she ended up telling me he apparently had been having an affair since she got pregnant and just told her he was leaving to start a life with his new family.

In fact, this is horrible!

The envelope had the divorce paperwork in it. She said he completely blindsided her, she had no idea this was coming.

My manager ended up comping her ticket and paying for an Uber to take her home. Never saw her again, but I always think about that situation and hope her and the kid are alright.”

Well, that was pretty depressing…

Couldn’t this guy have broken the news to her at home?

Or in the car?

Or at therapy?

Anywhere but in public!

What an incredibly sad story!
