Overreacting

11 replies

Cait44 · 23/04/2022 19:17

Myself and my new partner who is 64 recently went to a wedding as we were entering the dining room of the hotel for the reception a neighbour of my partner's who is in her 30s threw a condom at my partner in front of about 40 people and said "you might need that later" we all laughed mostly out of embarrassment but later I told my partner I was upset by her actions and felt it was not a nice thing to do. My partner went mad with me and said she was joking and I was overreacting, this upset me more than the incident as I didn't think it was funny. Am I overreacting or was her actions in singling him out wrong?

Was she drunk?

Run fast and far OP, this has got disaster written all over it.

Honestly I think she embarrassed herself more than anyone else. This sort of thing would be added to the funny story list in my brain. Not worth rowing about surely?

How stupid of her and I wouldn't have been very impressed with 'd'p either. Did he know her ?

What the hell? I don't get this at all. Why would she have a condom to hand? Personally I would judge him for his response and for having anything to do with her. She sounds insane, frankly.

How bizarre Don’t get the joke at all . Unless you went off on one I think his reaction is odd .

How is that funny? What an awful woman.

As above unless you went in all guns blazing to your new partner his reaction to get mad at you (what do you specifically by mad) seems over the top.
I'd probably be reconsidering things if he got mad at you for bringing it up, it's a crass thing for her to have done and I would have found it embarrassing whatever age I was .. bizarre.

Why did he get cross with you.
Bit like he was defending her.
If I was cynical I'd think they'd got a thing for each other ....

Would def bin this one tbh, I don't like his response and attitude towards you.

Agree with this. She was basically saying you would be an easy lay, very offensive. In front of everyone there. The fact he instinctively sided with her immature behavior instead of being a gentleman to you, I would drop him. It won’t get better, he has shown you how he will treat you. Badly done on his part.
