I told her this made me feel uncomfortable because "winking was our thing" but all she did was laugh at me and said she'd stop doing it while winking.
She continues to wink at other men, which I take to mean I have been a victim of spousal subterfuge.
Edit: She's started aggressively blinking at men now, which I consider 2x as powerful as the wink. She's ruining me.
I'd guess it's just a habit she has. Like the work smile, which I probably will never unlearn.
Or the work wink, which I will never unlearn.
Sure, I'll get you that report by Friday! wink
