A man I know (not well) through a hobby is going through a difficult divorce. He hasn't really talked to me about it, but I know others at the club have had the gory details. Currently still living in the family home with wife, it was supposed to be sold soon.

He's just posted an uncharacteristic rant on FB about how the sale has fallen through and wife has told him he can't go home until later because she has company.

It's a beautiful evening, I have no plans and my instinctive response was to post "Beer?".

He's nice enough although laterly has been full of bitterness. It's a good night for a drink in a beer garden, I'd quite like to go. However, I don't want to get in the middle of a messy divorce or particularly be the subject of gossip or listen to him moaning all evening. I'm a fairly recent widow BTW. Not looking for anything except an evening out and if I was, it wouldn't be with him!

Would you?

I don’t get the problem with drip feeding tbh - thoughts and feelings progress as conversation progresses!

I think it might be that he’s not in the right space to be available for what you need right now.

whatever you choose you can’t really go wrong, it’ll just help you see how you feel when you’re with him and whether you want to get closer as a friend or not.

enjoy your evening whatever you do!
