In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane offers advice to a reader on how to deal with the troublesome other woman in her fiancé's life.
An awkward boat trip isn't the only thing about her fiancé's best friend that has today's reader feeling ill.
Please note that I am not the jealous type. I was looking forward to adding this woman to my besties! So, I accepted her invitation to go out on her million-dollar yacht as a sincere sign that she wanted to get to know me. It was a trap.
I questioned my reaction. Maybe I was being too sensitive? Took it all too personally? Then, I heard that her besties arranged an INTERVENTION to confront her saying negative things about them behind their backs. Aha, I thought! It’s not just me! However, my fiancé used the oversharing defense AGAIN!
It’s great that your fiancé is willing to distance himself from his friend for your sake. However, it’s vital he understands why it’s necessary. Communication here is key -- not just airing grievances, but actively working together to establish clear boundaries that protect and strengthen your relationship.
