Dear Amy: Do you have any advice on how to possibly bring them closer?
Dear Amy: I was raised by a single mother. She’s an educated, liberal feminist who brought me up to be a strong and self-sufficient woman.
My husband was raised in a very patriarchal house by blue-collar workers who never denied him anything. He’s brilliant and extremely successful, even though he never finished college .He’s a man’s man, physically strong, can fix anything, build anything, do anything he sets his mind to, takes excellent care of our grown children, and adores me.They don’t argue, but they definitely struggle to be in the same room.The next morning, she said that he was being mean to me.
If your mother doesn’t spend time around couples who mix it up, it can be challenging to decode the difference between a fight, a debate, a minor dust-up, or a prelude to a mutual understanding.You made a tactical error here. If you want your mother and husband to be closer, then why did you choose to report your mother’s incorrect and upsetting assertion back to him? You told him, “My mom thinks you’re mean to me.
My stepson will be giving my daughter away. At the reception I am not comfortable walking in and being announced alone.AdvertisementDear M: The appropriate thing to do is to use whatever configuration works for you and the rest of the wedding party. You being flanked by these two young men sounds like a very nice idea.
