OOh, just remembered another one.
Meeting an old collegue at a function, hadn't seen him for a few years.

Him: 'So, how's everything going?'

Me: 'Great. We just had our first baby!' Blah blah blah about being a Dad, etc for 10 mins.

Me: 'So anyway, how's Steph? (his wife). You guys planning on a family yet?'

Him: 'Well, not really. She had ovarian cancer. Had to have radiotherapy, and is also needs a kidney transplant. She won't be able to have children'.

Me: 'Er . . . '.

Agreed. He could fulfill his biological mandate elsewhere.
Or adopt.

Dunno.
Don't think he did it on purpose, it probably wasn't quite as blunt as that either.

We all used to hang out together when we worked together, so I know his wife quite well.

Just hadn't seen them for a while becuase I'd moved to another compnay and country.
