I was at a party the other night (something to do with OH's work). There were colleagues of his from all over the world. Some bloke I've never met before made a beeline for me later on in the evening and started having a go at me for not letting my OH have a dog (long story - I used to want a dog when kids were at home, OH didn't, now he wants one but he works away a lot so I would be the main dog carer just as I've got my freedom back as kids away at uni).
The bloke - to whom I hadn't even been formally introduced - generally berated me, saying that I should let my husband have a dog and I found myself massively on the defensive - justifying why not to a complete stranger. At some point he said to OH 'well just bring a puppy home and her maternal instincts will kick in and she won't be able to say no then'. I half-jokingly said 'well if he does that, I'll be gone' whereupon this bloke (a high-flying, very successful international lawyer' turned to my husband and said 'Ah ok I'll be your legal representative then'.
If I'd known this chap then maybe it wouldn't have grated but I found him completely abrasive, disrespectful and it actually quite upset me.
Am I being unreasonable, over-sensitive and ridiculous? Or was his behaviour odd and lacking in social skills? I should add that he was quite intimidating, towering over me being verbally very quick and clever.
