Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend talks about the most private things to anyone who will listen. I don’t care when it’s his things he talks about, but when it’s stuff that should be private just between the two of us, like what we do in the bedroom, I get upset. He always apologises for upsetting me, but he still does it again and again.
Queenie, how can I get him to respect my feelings?—Embarrassed
Dear Embarrassed,
Your boyfriend does this to get attention and if he knows it upsets you and he still does it he is not likely to change. You will have to decide whether you are willing to put up with this kind of treatment – and him.
If you want to really let him know how this makes you feel, you can get some revenge by chiming in on his next embarrassing recital with something embarrassing about him – like how he can’t “get it up” in the bedroom without help, for example. But if you do this, be prepared for him to get upset with you – and maybe, if you are lucky, dump you.
