Dear Queenie,
My girlfriend knows a lot of people and when we go out somewhere she is constantly looking around for someone she knows and leaving me to go over to greet them and chat for a bit. This makes for constant interruptions in whatever we are doing and it’s gotten so I just don’t want to go out anywhere with her anymore.
Queenie, shouldn’t I get more respect?—Fed up
Dear Fed up,
Have you told your girlfriend how you feel about this? If not, sit down with her and do so as soon as possible.
It might help if she would introduce you to the folks you do not already know and include you in these conversations.
Also, I have to wonder why some of these people do not come over to her to say “hello.” And, could it be that they consider her greetings an intrusion in whatever they are doing and are just too polite to let her know how they feel?
