Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend is still friends with his ex-wife and he thinks I should be too. I know her slightly and I don’t dislike her, but I don’t want to be friends with her.
Sometimes the three of us get together with a whole group of friends, which is okay with me, but I am not interested in hanging out just with her.
My boyfriend says I am being unreasonable. I say he is.
Queenie, how do I get my boyfriend to understand?—Not interested
Dear Not interested,
Frankly, I think what your boyfriend wants is just a bit weird.
Tell him what you have told me, and ask him why this is so important to him. Listen carefully to what he has to say. But if he has not convinced you, stick to your guns. Show him this column if you think it will help.
