Would be keen to hear MN views on something strange that happened with a friend two weeks ago that I keep turning over in my mind.
We'd just been to a gig with my husband and three kids and were walking home, when we caught up, on a fairly busy stretch of London pavement, with a good friend of ours, who was walking in the same direction as us. We all called out to him, and as he turned around, it became apparent only in that moment that he was in fact with a woman, who was not his wife and whom we'd never seen before. He sort of acknowledged my husband but completely blanked the other four, introduced him to the woman and then swerved off and crossed the road with her.
On the face of it, a bit of a nothing burger, right? But if it really was nothing, why not stay and chat?
He's not been in touch to offer an explanation or acknowledge the weirdness, which I guess is entirely to be expected.
I'm due to see them both tomorrow, and I just feel somehow funny. Would welcome your thoughts!
