...in his fish pie....
Lovely meal tonight....restaurant overlooking the sea.....tables fairly close together...cosy but not cramped....and quiet music....bliss!
A couple came to sit at the next table.....elderly and obviously a new couple.....very English.....accents...dress....first holiday together I think...
He started to talk to her about the election......opinionated but quietly so...until she tried to venture her thoughts.....
He slammed both palms on the table...and still speaking fairly quietly but gruffly and measured now, told her to....Shut Up!...I am speaking!.....Please do not interrupt me until I have finished speaking! Listen to what I am saying!
Crikey!....Made me jump.....poor lady went rigid and red.....she said very little for the rest of the meal.....behaved very well I thought.....
I joke about dunking him in his pie.....but in truth I would have stood up and calmly left.....You?.....x

Later, when he asked if she wanted dessert she smiled and hesitated....we all do that, don't we ladies.... ;-)
Before she spoke he snapped again....Well come on! Yes or No!
They did seem to converse a little during the meal...I really wasn't eavesdropping all the while.....but she was very cowed...
I hope she ditches him.......x

^^^Ditto, in spades -- been there. Not so easy in practice, though, is it? May be on first holiday, room and transport home shared. Instinct would prevent ' making a scene' This was obviously unexpected by her. A few years ago I'm afraid that, looking back and in those circumstances, I would have peaceably finished the meal and broached the subject later, out of the public eye. Nowadays, I would have said, quite loudly, "How dare you speak to me like that?", called the waiter and asked to be moved to another table. His reaction to that would probably end the relationship.
