Christ, that poor, poor man.

Did it ever dawn on you that he was reading instructions or important info? How dare he do the logical thing while the wife is ready to move!

Please.

Nosy people don't often appreciate the nuances and illusions of what they think they "see."

Why people can't mind their own business and not jump to conclusions from little or almost no information about others? I guess they are happy together, and you just don't know how and why.

I learned a long time ago to never judge a couples relationship......two people who seem totally happy in public can be on the verge of divorce and what works for you may not work for them!

Not your problem. Not your relationship. You don't really know what was going on before, during, or after. It's none of your business. Worry about yourself. Unless there's a physical fight, I mind my own business. I've got no problem calling the cops if people are physically fighting.

Yes, that was disrespectful of her not to wait for her husband to stop reading, kind of like someone butting in and finishing your conversation for you. Let the man finish what he's doing for heaven's sake, if he needed help I'm sure he would have asked her.

More like I suspected that was what the OP was waiting to hear...or rather read.

For all I know, what she saw as disrespectful was him playfully swatting her hand away.

This thread is cracking me up. No where in her post has the OP made a judgment about the couple. All she did was ask a question - "Is this behavior rude?"

Where's the insight? Perhaps the OP is a kind person who was feeling empathetic about what she perceived to be disrespectful treatment.

No one on here ever sees something in public that concerns them? And no one here ever makes a judgment about strangers? How about the OP? Are you judging?

(It's so easy to see when someone else does it. For some it's impossible to see when they, themselves, do it.)

Ya gotta be married awhile to get that. . .
Are you my husband? I live with this every single day.
