Harmless comment.

A few weeks ago I was invited to a soirée, there were several people there. We're new to the village in France. I broke down in tears after being invited, my his band is having treatment in UK for prostate cancer. I asked what whe the "cousins were and the host dragged me into a room telling me that yhe were lovely people , don't talk about them. The lady behind me said she wasn't sure who they were bug they were gay. I started to tell her that my grandmother tried to get special dispensation from the pops so that I could marry my 1st cousin when we were grown up. Th host dragged me by my disabled arm into another room and said she didn't care what my Granny said or did she wouldn't have her guests insulted. Neither were in the room at the time. I asked to leave and was instructed to go to the salon with everyone else have a drink and don't look as if there has been a scene. I take this lady swimming twice a week and the last time she started a conversation on people with tattoos, how do they expect to get jobs?. My husband was in the car and just glanced at me. He has dozens of tattoo's. His last job he held at a university for 22 yrs. My son is a national cyclist with a sleeve tattoo. My mother son id a sergeant in the royal marines for 22 yrs, been to war several, times. We didn't say anything. I'm a brooder, she the offender says stuff and it's finished. Please ad vise.

I would steer clear of this vindictive person.

You have enough to worry about with your husband so please don't let it get you down.

Could it be a bit of jealousy for some reason?

If you are talking dispensation then you are a Christian. That mean lady did not behave like Christ. He never turned anyone away. Prayers for you! I agree with Bird. Be polite but distant from her. She is toxic. I am sorry for your husband's medical problems and pray for a speedy recovery. She physically and emotionally abused you.

It was not a harmless comment. It was abuse. God Bless
