I learned this the hard way: never ask about another person’s wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/etc. unless you already know the answer. There are a lot of surprise pitfalls, from divorce to death.
You really don’t want someone to answer, “Oh, he’s still dead.” It’s very awkward.
Hey, Abby, here’s an idea — explain the situation to your husband so he can let Ron know that he wasn’t aware, and didn’t intentionally make an insensitive comment — all without the kick in the shins.
