Dear Queenie,
My girlfriend went to her best friend’s wedding, but I wasn’t invited. I heard that she danced with her friend’s brother at the reception. My friends say she shouldn’t dance with anyone else but me and she wouldn’t want to if she really cared about me.
Queenie, are they right?—Left out
Dear Left out,
No, they are wrong. Dancing with someone other than one’s boyfriend (or girlfriend) is not cheating on him (or her). Even if you had been at the wedding with your girlfriend, you both might have had an occasional dance with someone else.
