Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend and I are in favour of different political parties, but we don’t let that bother us. However, most of my friends favour the same party I do and they don’t like him because of his political ideas, so they stopped calling me and inviting me to their get-togethers.
Queenie, why do I have to choose between my boyfriend and all my other friends?—Victim of politics
Dear Victim,
You should not have to make such a choice. If this is how your friends behave, perhaps it is time for you to start making more friends – ones who can “agree to disagree” and not let politics rule all their choices in life.
