Dear Queenie,
I like to socialize with people in groups and go to parties, but my boyfriend doesn’t like being with lots of people or people he doesn’t already know.
Queenie, can he get over this? If he doesn’t, is there a chance for our relationship to last?—Worried girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
There is nothing wrong with your boyfriend that he needs to “get over.” He just is not a social butterfly like you.
Your relationship has a chance to last only if you are both willing to compromise – that is, if you can get used to going to social events without him and if he can get used to going with you occasionally when it is really important to have him there.
