I think a particular woman should learn some damn manners!

This is my 4th of July party rant which involves an old childhood friend of my fiance's. (and no, they were never an item)

This "woman"... if you could really consider one that acts as she does to be that... proceeded to call my fiance by some childhood nickname that her daughter had given him nearly 12 years ago. As though hearing the word "but-tons" yelled out all night wasn't enough, she and her now 14 year old daughter continually kept asking Caleb to take a picture with them. The "woman" kept saying that her daughter wanted a picture with him.

Okay, here is my gripe. If I was around you & your significant other, whom my child knew when she was 2 and miraculously seems to remember the person after 12 years of never hearing or seeing them, and my kid wanted a picture with your significant other, I would talk to YOU first. I would come to the two of you and say, "Hey, I would really like to get a pic of "A" with my kid and you "B" are more than welcome to be in the pic as well, but I would really like to get a pic since it's been 12 years. Is that cool with you guys or no?

I think most would be obliged to say sure thing! But when you chase a person around all night, ignore his fiancee, and do things just to illicit a reaction... you're insulting me and I don't appreciate it. The mother & daughter were playing off each other & I knew the acts were to get a reaction so I just played it soooo cool. I'm so proud of myself because I am Italian and my temper can be icky!

However, on our way home my wonderful man made the mistake of asking why I was jealous. Or at least I think that was a mistake. There is nothing about this "woman" that I would be jealous of at all. Trust me, I would admit any inkling of jealousy if I had any. I was irritated that she & the daughter intentionally insulted me all night by acting towards my fiance & myself the way they did.

There appear to be many intelligent people here at mybloggers so I ask you... would being irritated at the "woman & daughter's" behavior warrant the jealousy tag, or do I have a valid argument that she was blatantly insulting me.
