"Now I know I've been missing a lot."

Ok.

So.

Mary has dated people.

Mary has been married twice.

Mary had an affair while married.

Mary has apparently never had sex?

Or maybe she's just never had dirty talk?

Or maybe she's just never dated a guy who'd be chill with her meeting up with friends and then rushing off to fuck without speaking to them personally, but talking out loud about how you're going to rush off and fuck?

Yeah, babe, I don't think you've missed out.

Anyway apparently Edda, Amos, Seth, Fernanda, Hugh, and possibly Xiulan arranged to meet in a public place.

Edda and Amos left before anyone else showed up. They got there and then they just left to go fuck. They didn't talk to anyone, they just left. To go fuck.

Seth showed up, waited for his wife, then took her to the dance floor. Yes, there was some performative making out, but arriving at a dance hall and then going to dance is pretty normal.

Hugh arrived and mentioned he was meeting them. For some reason he used their last names, Mr. and Mrs. Appleby, like she'd know who they are? So did Fernanda take Seth's last name? Is Hugh just making sexist assumptions about what her last name is? Why did Seth introduce her as "Fernanda Jons" and not just "Fernanda"? He introduced her as Fernanda Jons, is Jons her middle name? Is "Fernanda Jons" her name like "Beth Ann" is a name but we'd been using "Ann" as a surname? Is it actually common to meet strangers and tell them what your first AND last name is?

Anyway, Hugh arrived and mentioned he was meeting them there. Mary, recognizing the last name, told him they were dancing.

Hugh sat at the table and waited for his friends.

Seth and Fernanda announced they were going home to fuck. They aren't depicted saying anything to Hugh, including "hello." They just announce they're going to fuck, after one dance, and leave.

Hugh is left there with someone he doesn't know, ditched by his friends (who have gone off to fuck).

I would be so angry.

I would be so angry.

This man has a pregnant wife or an infant, as well as a demanding career that involves travel.

He took the time to clean up, put on a tux, and come to a location outside of his own home.

His friends absolutely ditched him.

His friends ditched him to fuck.

Even if Xiulan shows up his friends still ditched him (and her, if she does indeed show up).

This is so incredibly rude and selfish and unkind.

Just... a whole ass social outing where everyone else ditches you so they can have sex with their spouses with whom they live.

Just awful, awful people.
