That's what I want to find out really.Originally posted by Pogle View PostMen do get embarrased when they see a woman feeding, which is a shame, It didnt bother me much and I felt I was doing my best for Pogle Jnr, which frankly was the only thing that mattered
Today my first reaction was to feel that I was intruding so I removed myself quickly because I didn't want the friend to have to ask me to leave.
But was I over-reacting and as a result offending the friend by letting her think that I did not want to be around while she was feeding the baby?Comment

But if a man is in a forest and no woman is around to hear him is he still wrong? Mrs BP says yes.......Comment

She may have preferred that you weren't there, but didn't like to say. You chose the "leave" option which IMO can't fail because if she DID mind you being there, you weren't, but if she DIDN'T mind you being there, she'll understand that you erred on the side of caution.Originally posted by Gonzo View PostThat's what I want to find out really.

You did the right thing.
She could have called after you "there's no need to leave i don't mind if you don't" but she didn't. QED.Comment

That's what I thought too.
If she got all offended and couldn't stop to think that you may have left out of courtesy to her, she'd need to wind her neck in.Originally posted by Gonzo View PostBut was I over-reacting and as a result offending the friend by letting her think that I did not want to be around while she was feeding the baby?
You did the right thing IMO, and you could have murmered "Bitty!" from outside too.Comment

If it happens again you could always get your cock out and see how she feels. Just a thought.I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.Comment
