Dear Queenie,
I’ve known my boyfriend and his sister since we were all in school and my boyfriend and I have been together for a couple of years now. In all the time I’ve known him and his sister, when we’re all at a party he dances with his sister. He says it’s because she’s a good dancer and she can’t find good partners.
I want him to dance with me too sometimes but she gets mad at him when he dances with me instead of her.
Queenie, I wish he would dance with one of us or the other, but not both. What do you think?—Dancing girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
Arguing with your boyfriend about his dancing with his sister makes you look jealous and will spoil any friendly relationship you have with his sister. He may prefer to dance with his sister because she is a better dancer than you are.
The best thing would be if he dances an equal number of times with each of you, but, as I said, making an issue of this will only make you look bad – and it could spoil things between you and your boyfriend.
