I'm An Ass

At the optometrist office, chit-chatting with my doctor while she fills out paperwork on me...

Her: "So I see we're changing your last name."

Me, giggly/gushing/bragging: "Yup! Just got married last month and it's been absolutely wonderful! Are you married?!"

Her, face fallen/perturbed: "I'm newly divorced."

Me, asshole: "Oh. I'm sorry?"

Her, silently hating me: "Thank you."

Me: *mentally slaps my own forehead*

Oops. . .

Hey, don't feel bad. We all put our foot in our mouth occasionally. For instance, I get asked all the time if we have kids (or want them), and we've been struggling with infertility for a year. Awesome.

AKWARD!!

but we've all been there...

this one time at my husbands best friends wedding a couple months ago I totally wanted to drop right through the floor...long story short I made a comment about the grooms father's new wife being an annoying biatch not knowing that he was sitting within hearing distance...

i think i turned a new shade of red

Hate it when that happens. No worries though bebe...you should be happy and no one should take it away from you because of their own issues.
