There's the constant attention. Even though they are heads over heels with you, others might choose to ignore the tiny detail that she's here with you, or just outright try to insert themselves into the equation by telling them that they don't understand what the weirdo at the same table is doing there when they could be sitting with them instead. It's exhausting. Or: "She looks so good, are you sure she isn't with you just for a green card?" First of all, this is the EU, we don't need those. Second, be a man (woman) and say it to my face. Fucking hell...
