Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend is a sloppy eater, He takes big mouthfuls and chews with his lips open, so you can see the food in his mouth, he makes a big mess and doesn’t wipe his hands when he gets food on them. My family have commented to me about all this and he has a job where there are frequent lunch meetings, but when I tried to talk to him about it he just laughed at me.
Queenie, is there anything more I can do?—Offended girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
Warn your boyfriend again that his poor table manners could affect his reputation at work and possibly his chance of getting a promotion, as well as his social life. Offer to help him learn to do better and hope he is smart enough to try to do so.
