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.

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.
