When you're walking on the street with your husband, and you meet someone you know, do you greet them or ignore??

I greet them but I don't stop to shmooze unless they are from OOT or haven't seen them in years. In those cases I stop for a minute or two and make plans to catch up more if it's shayach.

Sure I do. I just noticed several times over yom tov that women that walked with their husband, basically ignored me even after greeting them. Barely even smiled back.

Of course greet them but usually just a hello not a major conversation

Does he have wandering eyes? Did he ask you to do this for his sake? Does he ignore his friends when you're with him? Perhaps your query would make more sense if you gave some background, such as that you have friends who ignore you when they're with their husbands, or you had some teacher or mother or aunt who told you to do this. As it is, with no context given, it makes no sense whatsoever. |
OP said up thread that she was ignored by other women this YT and wondering if this is something everyone does or if she is a social leper.

Sometimes they're so immersed with their husbands, they see nothing else.

What sort of community is this? Maybe where you live people are so insecure or so paranoid that they pretend the other gender doesn't exist except for their spouses. Where I live there are certain people who will greet only members of their own shul, regardless of gender. IDK what they think is going to happen if they wish Good Shabbos to someone who davens at a different shul, or even, dare I say it, nod and smile soundlessly. It should be noted that the religious leaders of said shul absolutely do return greetings and even smile and nod proactively.
DLKZ maybe these people don't wear their glasses or lenses on Shabbat and can't see anything six inches past their noses.
