Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend grew up in a family that didn’t believe in celebrating holidays and special occasions like birthdays. He enjoys parties and such as long as they are not related to a holiday or anything like that.
Queenie, would it be okay for me to ask him to join me on certain occasions just for the fun of it without bothering about the possible meaning of it all?—Traditional girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
You can ask him to do so, but do not be surprised if he will not. It would be like asking a fish to trade its scales for feathers.
If you cannot accept his attitude and live with it happily, look for someone who feels the same way you do about such matters.
