Dismal men

I’m on holiday and during the transfer from airport to resort I sat behind a couple in their 30s. He asked the rep, repeatedly, how long it would take to reach their hotel; the rep answered perfectly reasonably with an estimate but noted could be different if traffic is bad. He carried on pressing her for a fixed time, slightly aggressively, before she made her excuses and move away.

Just after this, the woman bent forward to pick something up, and he jokingly tried to push her head towards his crotch.

He then put in his headphones and watched something on his phone for the rest of the journey.

Am I a prurient, pearl clutcher? I just don’t understand why women are with these men. Are you one of those women? Why do you put up with it? Why didn’t you end it when this stuff started to happen?

What an utter knob. I hope his partner was mortified.
