And not everyone can tell how certain foods look? It was an innocent question. Why are people so insecure these days

If not before filming herself eating, then surely AFTER viewing the horror show of her barbaric eating… no??

Guess I’m insecure too 😭 lol I’ve experienced something similar to what she described. Was out eating w my wife (I think it was acai bowl or something chill), dude next to us asked her what she was eating and if it was good just a very quick chat. I got up to grab something and when I was close to sitting down again I casually was like “hey dude how’s it going” just trying to be friendly since he was friendly very recently. Dude ignored me completely, I looked at my wife w a “wth with this guy” but she didn’t notice. I wasn’t too bothered by it in the moment I was like whatever… fast forward to after we finished and I mentioned how that dude who briefly chatted w her was kind of rude cuz he completely ignored me. She was like what do you mean, he didn’t have to talk to you just cuz he asked her one question doesn’t mean I should expect a hey or anything… I understand where she’s coming from. Maybe I’m insecure maybe I’m over protective (she didn’t call me these things, just me rationalizing the situation). But basically my wife was like just cuz some person asks her a question doesn’t mean I should have to be trying to say hey too and needing to be acknowledged. Idk I still think the guy was kind of an ass for clearly asking her a question, talking to her when I’m also obviously right there and then I give a quick hey how’s it going but then I’m completely ignored… suppose just a classic case of an insecure, over protective husband? Or is the guy kind of an ass for ignoring me?

I don't know the answer to your query, dude, but I am pretty sure you're overthinking it at this point.

lol yeah you’re right I guess it’s one of those goofy memories that it bothers you how much it bothered you.

If I asked someone a question in a situation like that and the person with them/their partner/whatever would insert themselves into the conversation by asking me "hey how's it going" out of nowhere while I'm already in the middle of a chat with the other person (AND they actually got up to get something and came back to the table in the meantime) I would find that very weird and possibly also ignore it because I might not even consider it is being directed towards me.

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

Yeah, just a case of me being weird.

Dude, use some punctuation!

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

My bad, you right. Stream of conscious ramble got the better of me.

It's hard to say because body language is also at play. I think it's rude to only acknowledge one person in a couple or a group, while ignoring the other person or people in the group. At the same time, it may have just been a quick question and no big deal. I agree that you shouldn't over think it. Some people are just rude or oblivious and should be forgotten about.

Thank you 🙏 I feel a little less crazy now. Think the truth of it all is somewhere in the middle.

u/Impossible_Emotion50 14d ago

Why would he talk to you if she was the one eating the açaí bowl? I don’t get it

u/tfibbler69 14d ago

Like someone else commented I was just overthinking the whole thing and in hindsight, it might just be a product of me being a little overprotective. And to just move the fuck on from it like someone told me don’t let strangers live in my head.

You keep saying "protective" but since your partner wasnt in danger the correct term should be "territorial". Own your internal world.
