Dear Queenie,
My girlfriend and I went out to a disco the other night. When we got there she met up with a bunch of her friends and that was the last I saw of her for the evening until I was ready to go, which was pretty soon because I don’t like loud music and dancing much, especially with strangers.
When I was ready to go I went to her and she was dancing with another guy. I told her I had had enough and I wanted to go and she said I should go without her and her friends would take her home.
Queenie, I only went there because she wanted to. We were supposed to be on a date together. Shouldn’t she have gone home with me?—Angry boyfriend
Dear Angry boyfriend,
Of course she should have. On the other hand, you might have tried having a little more patience. You might even have asked her to dance with you. If you don’t like dancing because you don’t know how, you could have asked her to teach you.
However, your girlfriend’s behaviour was thoughtless, selfish, immature and completely without regard for your feelings. You might want to consider finding another girlfriend, one who is a little more considerate than this one and who shares your interests instead of expecting you to cater to hers.
