Dear Queenie,
My husband and I were together for more than 5 years when we got engaged and about 3 years later we had a small private wedding and then a big celebration with all our family and friends.
Now my husband teases me that I tricked him into marrying me and dragged him to the altar. I know he’s just joking, but sounds like he’s ashamed of getting married and it hurts my feelings.
Queenie, how do I get him to stop?—New bride
Dear Bride,
Have you told your husband how his “jokes” make you feel? He is not a mind-reader, you know. Tell him – pleasantly – in plain and simple terms how you feel about what he says and see how he reacts. Then you will know whether you have anything to be concerned about and, if so, can take appropriate measures.
