If your “love language” is giving gifts (it obviously is), then go ahead and do it, take responsibility for it, and write the cards in your own voice, writes Amy Dickinson.
With every reunion, I have done my best to be kind, to participate, to be funny and inquire about their lives.They don’t understand my humor, I am rarely asked questions about how I am doing or what I am up to, and I find that the majority of their conversations are satirical put-downs of other people from college.I’m a realistic person; I don’t need to be liked by everyone, simply because I, myself, do not like everyone.
Of course, I have considered just not going to any of his gatherings, but I want to support my partner just as he supports me. If you don’t enjoy these friend reunions, then you could either skip them altogether, or show up to say hello and make your exit when you’re ready to leave.Changing how you feel is within your power, and this power is accessed by changing your behavior.
There are ways your boyfriend could be more generous toward you by drawing you in, but when he is with his obnoxious friends, some of their attitudes may rub off on him.
