Please do not complain about my opinion. I don't have the time to convince you I'm right.

Dear Lenze,
To be perfectly honest Lenze (i see your situation through a wider lenze than others....ok ok i try) i played with my ex-wife about 3 years after we got divorced
It took me 2 and a half boards to realise why we got divorced in the first place
A 4-1 ♣ break and a K ♠ offside had an uncanny habit of reheating the acid
My advice. Dont shave!!!, dont iron your shirt, don't change your underwear!!!Because if you win, AND you nonchalantly suggest to take her home for a coffee (yeah yeah) .....you might find that you fall in love all over again. OK, there as is much chance of that as the finesse of the 4 winning....It will then just take you another game to realise why you been separated for 8 years
PPS Lenze. Please show some compassion. There are men here who have been playing with wives they've been married to for 30 years , not their Exs.

But good luck.

Thanks for all your comments. I had a great time with my EX. She did not touch a wrong card all night. (Not really true, She made the mistake of leading my suit once) We had a 65% game!!

Hi ..
I havent met my ex-wife yet .. should I deliberately avoid bridge-playing females?
Please advise ...we're not clever about this stuff in the province.

Yes. Don't go out with female players. It's bound to be unsettling

excellent advice... but then, i'm one who believes it's a good idea, in general, to stay away from *present* wives (as much as possible), much moreso ex's

<psst> That's horrible advice - I married my regular bridge partner, and boy did I get lucky.
