Dear Queenie,
My husband loves sports events and always wants me to go with him even though I am not the least bit interested. And my sister always wants her husband to go with her to concerts and dance performances even though he would rather be at sporting events.
Queenie, why do they do things like that?—Resentful
Dear Resentful,
There are many reasons for this kind of thing, including power and control, but mostly it is a matter of wanting one’s spouse to keep one company and share one’s enjoyment. And the spouse might even actually learn to enjoy something new.
But if you really do not enjoy these events, let your husband find someone else to keep him company at them – as long as it is not a byside!
