Daily News | Dear Abby | Man’s ‘relationship status’ dismays longtime girlfriend
: I’ve been living with my boyfriend, “Dan,” for 15 years. He has always worked, and he doesn’t hit me. If he’s mad he lets go easy and doesn’t dwell on stuff. Here’s the issue: On his Facebook profile in the “relationship status” section, he states that he’s “single.” Other times he has used “open relationship” or “it’s complicated.” We’ve been together way too long for him to write something like that.
I love him, but I don’t want a future of living with this from my man. I feel like I’m wasting precious years. Life goes by so fast. I’m thinking about leaving him. What does he mean by doing that? Can you advise me, Abby?Please accept my sympathy. You have spent the last 15 years with someone who is commitment-phobic. When people post that they’re in an open relationship, it means they are interested in exploring other relationships.
We went out last night and I “hinted” that I’m uncomfortable with the unnecessary attention and would like us to be more low-key. The response was, “We like to have fun. It makes us happy, and people always thank us because we make their day.” I think people just play along and secretly find them annoying.
I don’t want to hurt their feelings, but I don’t know what to say if they ask us out again. My husband feels the same as I do. Any suggestions?They may be nice people, but their compulsion to perform in public makes you uncomfortable. Added to that is your inability to talk with them on a meaningful level because they dominate the conversation. If you like them in private, under controlled conditions, invite them over. But politely decline their invitations to eat out.
