Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend has some habits that really bother me. For one thing, he smokes a lot, while I try to keep fit and stay healthy. He also spends a lot of time playing computer games.
Queenie, do I have any right to ask him to change these habits for my sake?—His girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
Second-hand smoke can give you health problems, so you have a perfect right to ask that at least he not smoke when you are around – and if you live together, the smoke he creates when you are not there can linger and affect you seriously when you return, which must be taken into consideration.
Computer games can become addictive and he might need professional help overcoming such an addiction.
