P.S. Also, her answers are not particularly snappy. "Yes, and we're getting married when he gets out of prison," for example, is perfectly realistic, and if she said it to me I would reply, "Congratulations! I certainly hope things work out and you get off to a great new start!" And around here (for some reason we're a big draw for neo-pagans) I would not be surprised at hearing the "Mother Goddess" comment either, and would reply "How nice for you." As I would to most of the others, which are not only unimaginative but in poor taste, and my standard reply to sexual revelations from anybody who's not lying naked in bed beside me is "How nice for you," as anybody who's not lying naked in bed beside me doesn't know me well enough to tell me things like that anyway. ("How nice for you" is an excellent all-purpose reply to almost anything.)
