Dear Queenie,
My best friend got married about a year ago and whenever he has a problem with his wife he calls me to tell me all about it. He goes on and on about it and tells me things that I think should be private between the two of them and maybe a marriage counsellor. I don’t think he should be telling so much, but he just goes right on talking.
Queenie, how can I get him to stop all this?—Fed-up friend
Dear Friend,
Tell your friend that he should not be telling you so many things that should be private between him and his wife, that you do not want to hear about them, and that if there are so many problems he – and his wife – should be talking instead to a professional marriage counsellor. And repeat as necessary.
