Men in Westport
So I just went with a friend to an ice cream place in Westport. We are from New Haven for context. We were sitting outside eating our ice cream and this man walked up with his dog (off leash) and the dog came right up to us. I was like “oh what’s their name?” and he was abruptly like “oh we’re waiting for my wife, she’s inside” and then he scurried away and sat down. Then as I was walking to the car while my friend was inside getting napkins at the ice cream place, I smiled at a different couple on the street, and as soon as the male saw me he also abruptly looked away and kept walking. I jokingly said to my friend, “What are the wives doing to these men in Westport? It’s like the opposite of Handmaid’s Tale” … but I genuinely need some insight, like are these just weirdly loyal men? Or do they just have terrible social skills?
