Doing the right thing

OK, so I admit that I skimmed your post the first time, but my original impression when you mentioned that the guy brought his partner was that he was a life partner, not a business partner. Which makes the true meaning of your story kinda funny.

Good for you. And I'll try reading more slowly next time.

my favorite reaction to remarks that offend me is to look the person up and down and say quite sweetly, "why in the world would you say (ask) that.?" and walk away. I then deal with it much like you by refusing said person any more of my time, energy, money or attention.
