To think friends boyfriend was rude?

Went over for dinner and we all her (her, me and him) sat at the table. She asked me a question about an upcoming operation and then said don’t worry if you don’t want to talk about it in front of him.

I saw I didn’t mind, and then said you don’t mind do you boyfriend?

He just looked and said well I’m not even really listening anyway.

If my partner invited a friend over I wouldn’t sit with them at dinner and tell the guest that I wasn’t listening to them.

I had to look up “skank”, Confused. It says a reggae dancer? We’re ugly reggae dancers because we don’t think you should have been discussing your private health problems with your friends boyfriend???

Best thread of the night.
It escalated quickly and an insult thrown in for good measure because you disagree with the OP.
What more do you want for a Saturday night thread!
🤣🤣🤣

@5zeds that's made me laugh far more than it should have Grin

🤣🤣🤣 this is brilliant. It’s like watching a bottle fight in a down market pub.

Keep it up OP! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Christ can we swap lives if this is the biggest issue you’ve got?! Honestly it’s a complete non issue, do you need everyone’s undivided attention just because you’re a special guest? He wasn’t rude, flippant maybe but definitely not rude and definitely definitely not rude enough to cause your foot stomping tantrum because he wasn’t fixing you with an interested adoring gaze and fixated on every word falling from your gob.

stellaisabella · 04/07/2021 00:48

😂😂😂😂 insists they're being bullied as no one agreed, and then calls everyone an ugly skank - the irony, the whole thing is absolutely fantastic. Well done op, classic.

Frownette · 04/07/2021 00:57

Oh OP, get some rest

QueenBee52 · 04/07/2021 00:59

Yes he sounds like a right TWAT...

you were invited for Dinner, his GF brought up the appointment not you, to be honest, it sounds more like he really didn't want you there OP.

@Truereflections

Hiding this thread now you ugly skanks.

Frownette · 04/07/2021 13:40

@Hellodarknessmyoldpal this seriously made me laugh last night!

So our chosen career path is ugly reggae dancers

It sounds like the two of you were dominating the conversation with topics relevant to both of you but which weren’t really interesting or relevant to him and that he was zoning out. I wouldn’t think it was rude for him to say he wasn’t really listening if he wasn’t really part of the conversation you’d been having up to that point.
