Dear Amy: I started two different progressive dinner groups with other couples in our neighborhood.
You’ve put a tremendous amount of effort into these dinners, but you do seem quite rigid about the parameters. New and visiting couples can add new life into these events — and if participating couples have houseguests on the night of one of these dinners, it seems natural and logical that they would ask if the new people can bring a salad to share and tag along to enjoy these creative dinners.
If something breaks at her house and she has to spend money, she becomes very dramatic and acts like it’s the end of the world.She dates men that are not in a healthy place, so the romance often quickly falls apart.She will not seek help, and nothing cheers her up. Other friends say we should stick it out because she has good qualities, but I say enough is enough, she needs to be told how her behaviors affect the friendship, and boundaries need to be set when she decides to act like this, since she won’t respond to our attempts at support.If your friend falls apart on a monthly basis, I wonder if she has a hormonal imbalance that can be successfully treated.
