I've been out tonight with friends. Lovely people I've known for a long time. We all had a lot to drink and were having a blast.
All in our 50s, if that's relevant. One married couple, plus 3 men, three women, all single, no relationships amongst us except friendship. All had some really tough times in life and friends have been a godsend.
At one point, late into the evening, one of the single men slapped my (single) backside. To my shame, I barely noticed, it was just a bit of fun as the evening was going. Others in the group were very offended on my behalf and called him out on it, resulting on him going off a huff and complaining that he can't be himself with people he "thought were his friends". In all of this I seem to be the agressor.
My friends were right, he was wrong and although I should have called him out, I didn't and none of this fuss was caused by me, right?
We're due to go away as a group in a few weeks time and the men have told him he's not welcome unless he sorts himself out. Which would be good for everyone.
