I'm on the train home from work right now and just had to post this. Just to clarify I know this is 2019 and I'm not nieve (sp!!) as to what goes on either. I had a half day from work today as met a friend for a long lunch to celebrate her birthday in a small restaurant. As it's a cosy restaurant we couldn't help but notice the people around us as the tables were close together. There was some background music but it was playing very low. Anyway after the starter and while waiting for our mains the couple beside us seemed to be talking louder, were merry on wine and flirty, we just assumed at first they were a romantic couple enjoying some time together (him late 30's or early 40's and her mid 20's) he had a married ring on, btw my friend is a people watcher as she says or maybe just plain nosey as I say! To cut a long story short, he received a phone call from obviously his wife with him saying how awful it is to be away at business conferences, but that's why they have such a good life because of the money he earns so a small sacrifice etc etc, ending with love you, miss you etc, this was so blatant that I think everyone in the restaurant could hear by now! The worst was he then spoke to his children on the phone while OW was sitting at the table and he was holding her hand and looking into her eyes at the same time, he then spoke to the wife again before ending the call with can't wait to see you on Fri! All the time the OW just sat there listening and swigging wine and looked like she really couldn't give a damn. We were so shocked about how candid they were and not seeming at all bothered about being overheard. Then they were all over each other as they left, we were glad to see the back of them, so I cannot believe that they have just got on at the next stop and are sitting opposite me, looking very dressed up (him in a tuxedo, her in a cocktail dress) so they must be going somewhere special and notably he has his married ring off this time. I've got sunglasses on so hope they don't notice me from earlier, though I very much doubt it! I'm wondering too how he managed to explain to his wife about packing a tuxedo for a conference in his case or maybe he has hired it? I would really love to tell him how disgusting his behaviour is but obviously won't. If I didn't know otherwise he sounded like a loving husband on the phone but instead he's a very good actor. Maybe he treats her well at home, who knows? What do you all think of this, would love to hear a mans opinion too if there are any men on here!!
