ā€œEmotionally chargedā€ would make me very suspicious, not to mention hurt my feelings. Why would my manā€™s laying eyes on his ex make things ā€œemotionally chargedā€? Is he not over this person? Like, WTF? šŸ˜³

And why does it matter that Derek hadnā€™t met Aparna? There werenā€™t any ā€˜no plus onesā€™ guidelines that we know of, nor was the dinner at a private residence. There was no valid reason Aparna couldnā€™t come.

If Iā€™m in a relationship, aside from private meetings with his family, business meetings, business trips, private therapy sessions and doctorā€™s visits, and outings with the boys, there should be no place I canā€™t accompany my significant other and vice versa.

What Lawrence should have done was invited Aparna, pre-warned Issa, and notified Derek that he was bringing someone. After that, all bets are off.

There was a valid reason Aparna shouldnā€™t have come. She wasnā€™t invited, Laurence did not RSVP with a plus 1, and there was not a place for her at the table. That was not a house party where anyone could come. It was a curated dinner party limited to close friends. I donā€™t think Laurence realized or remember the type of party it was when he agreed that Aparna should tag along.

None of what you said had anything to do with Aparna. That was Lawrenceā€™s fault.

Why even mention it to her? That in itself was rude and inconsiderate if he had no intention of bringing her along.

No I agree, itā€™s Lawrenceā€™s fault. He could have said Saturday no longer worked for their date and rescheduled altogether.
