Kids don’t want mom’s boyfriend around
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
Dear Carolyn:
I have been divorced
14 years and have two
adult children. Recently
my children informed
me they do not like the
man I have been dating
for several years and do
not want him at family
events. Why they do not
like him: He is the com
plete opposite of their father. Also,
he is an attorney, so it goes without
saying that he is opinionated.
He is willing to listen and does not
argue incessantly, but does offer an
opinion when one is not asked. I have
explained to him that if a person is
not seeking his opinion, do not offer
one. This is especially a problem
with offering parenting opinions to
my daughter and son-in-law. It drives
them crazy, especially since my boy
friend has no children.
My daughter finally became infu
riated after he again told her how to
parent, and they had a huge blowout.
She wants nothing to do with him.
His reaction was no better and he let
me know he does not care for either
of my children. This makes me sick
to my stomach.
I love this man and we have so
much fun together, seldom argue,
and he treats me so good. My gut tells
me to end this relationship because
there is nothing more important than
my children.
Should I, or am I not thinking
rationally?
— N.
Well this is awkward.
You love him and you have “so
much fun together” and your kids
are, presumably, out
of your day-to-day life.
Really this shouldn’t
even be a question.
But as the disin
terested third party
you brought in, I feel
obligated to point out
that your boyfriend’s
behavior, as you
describe it, is that of an
utter, presumptuous jerk.
Argumentative? Smug? Boundary-
challenged? Openly disrespectful
of your guidance not to hector your
kids? Check-check-check-check.
You say, “his reaction was no bet
ter,” as if your daughter’s fury and
finality were wrong. But if visiting
family meant I had someone repeat
edly in my face, through roadblocks,
about the single most intimate
and challenging and emotionally
consuming part of my life — even
someone who was an expert, but
especially a spectator — then my lid
would be at critical risk of flipping.
And let’s take a moment to gawk at
your “goes without saying” remark
about lawyers. My kindest, most
open-minded friend — a walking hug
of a person (hi N.!) — is a litigator.
The most humane and evolved (hi,
M.!)? Also a lawyer. So recognize
your comment as the weak excuse
it is for your boyfriend’s arrogant
certainties, and note that explaining
and rationalizing are how partners
of rude people spend a sad chunk of
their time.
Maybe he is lovely to you, of
course, while being unlovely to oth
ers. Maybe you see a side of him
others don’t; maybe too, he’s shrewd
enough to take precautions against
total isolation and summon his best
for you.
Either way, you have two tough
assignments. First: Move past the
“what” of the opposing views of this
man, and get to the “why.” Are you
missing something? Are they? Is he?
Second: Figure out whether that
matters. You can invest in him, invest
in your kids, or choose both and keep
them apart. It’s your life. See the
whole truth of it — then find the cour
age to live it.
Chat with Carolyn online at noon each
Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

Opening lead: Queen of O
ACBL Hall-of-Fame member
David Berkowitz tells this story on
himself. He was West in today’s deal.
Suzi Subeck was South.
East won the diamond opening
lead and returned a diamond to
declarer’s king as Berkowitz played
low. South led a club to dummy’s
ace and ruffed a club, then led a low
spade. Berkowitz split his honors and
dummy’s king won the trick. Another
club ruff stripped Berkowitz of his
last club and left him feeling uneasy.
A low diamond put Berkowitz on
lead with the jack and he had the
choice of leading a trump, giving
away his trump trick, or leading a
heart. Declarer could have prevailed
on either lead. Berkowitz chose to
lead a low heart, 10-king-ace. A
heart back to the queen, a spade to
the ace, and a heart ruff gave declarer
10 tricks and her doubled contract.
This was very well played by Suzi
Subeck.
Was this just another bad double,
or could the defense have defeated
the contract? The early defense could
have been sharper. East could have
ducked his ace of diamonds at trick
one, possibly losing to an unlikely
singleton king in the South hand, but
keeping defensive communications
open otherwise. Also, Berkowitz
could have unblocked the jack of
diamonds under the king at trick two.
That would have been a very risky
play.
