Dear Queenie,
My girlfriend and I have been together for many years and we have a very good relationship except for one problem. I like to socialize and spend time with friends, but if I find a new friend my girlfriend will start to say mean things about them and make me feel bad about spending time with them. Often it’s easier to give up a friendship than to argue about it.
Queenie, is there anything I can do about this?—Friendly guy
Dear Friendly guy,
Apparently your girlfriend has feelings of insecurity.
The next time she starts saying mean things about a friend of yours, offer to take her along to share the fun when you go to meet with them. Then, if she will not join you, go without her and enjoy yourself.
