Dear Queenie,
I’ve been dating a guy for only a couple of months and he wanted to take me to all his family’s holiday dinners. He has a big family and I felt strange meeting so many of them all at once like that and now he wants me to go with him to his family dinner every week.
Queenie, I don’t want to offend him or any of them, but every week is just too much for me. How can I get him to let up?—Overwhelmed girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
If you continue dating this guy you will have to accept that he is close to his big family, and you should feel complimented that he wants to include you.
However, you also should explain to him how overwhelmed you feel and perhaps ask him not to take you to these family events quite so often.
