Dear Amy: My friend “Annie” and I are both in our mid-20’s and love musicals. We decided to travel to New York in October to see a few shows.
But even if Annie felt danced into a corner, she absolutely should have run this change past you before committing.
Tell her now, “I’m frustrated. I thought this was a two-person weekend. I like your husband, but now I feel like a third wheel. I really wish you had discussed this with me beforehand. Also, unfortunately there is no way my friend can squeeze in three extra people, so can you two find a place to stay?”
My friends love watching painfully terrible movies and discussing the plot and production in excruciating detail. I just want to enjoy their company without these dreadful background distractions that are not in my wheelhouse, and they show disappointment when I decline or offer a quieter alternative.Dear Unironic:
