Is this pic strange?

Many years ago, after I first met my husband he went holiday to Ibiza with a group of friends. One of the pics taken at that time was with his female hometown friend and he was standing with her puting his hand on her waist. Is this anything strange?

OP, are you feeling quite well?

May i ask why you are seeing a counsellor on tuesday?

i see a counsellor due to anxiety and depression, sometimes i can have quite warped ideas about things and am very insecure.

HeySoulSister, why is it interesting they are still friends? He has many tometown male and female friends who are all long term friends and she is one of them.

Because your posts seem..well odd to be honest.

Coffeenowplease, I dont have mental health issues and I'm not English.

Ok that might explain why your posts read a little oddly.
You do seem very anxious - is that what you re seeing a therapist for ?

Just wondering are you and your husband from different countries/cultures ?

Where are you from, OP?

beaglesaresweet · 01/09/2013 23:29

I really don't think that OP's NATIONALITY matters here! People of foreign origin can have a sense of humour, Coffee, and read the posts as they are intended, you know. Obviously OP may be very new to English language, but the main point is, she is unhealthily, seriously anxious (or both).

Gruntfuttock · 01/09/2013 23:42

Beagles, nationality can be relevant in so far as what is considered acceptable and normal behaviour between the sexes and also recognising humorous and/or sarcastic replies as what they are. That was why I asked.

MrsMinkBernardLundy · 01/09/2013 23:50

OP are you happy with your husband?

beaglesaresweet · 01/09/2013 23:51

well, assuming she lives in the UK and with her English H (I may be wrong here) she would have picked how humour and sarcasm are expressed. Tbh I think that OP personally lacks any sense of humour, as most immigrants with English husbands would be conversant!
As to the touching culture - yes, agree. She sort of accepted that ut's fine, but then started questioning left/right coments in all seriousness - come on, no one's English is that bad, if they can write/spell!

What I want to know is, is the woman in the photograph named "Sharon"?

Apocalypto · 04/09/2013 01:08

This is priceless

OP, please post more often

LessMissAbs · 04/09/2013 04:13

OP, has anything interesting happened in the intervening 7 years since the picture was taken?

I mean, anything at all? Not just to do with the friend from the "hometown"? I take it that both you and your husband have been out of the house since then?
