Answer: For Elizabeth, becoming queen of England in
1952 was a - CROWNING MOMENT
How do I deal with a fiance who is less social than I am?
Dear Carolyn:
My fiance and I live
in a major East Coast
city. I have a pretty
robust social life and
usually have plans with
friends a few days a
week after work. I am
also friendly with most
of my co-workers, so
I get my fix of talking
about work while I’m
actually at work, or by
chatting with co-work-
ers off-hours.
My fiance is less
social than I am. Some
times he comes with
me to after-work things,
but usually not, and he
never has any of his
own. He also doesn’t
like talking to his co
workers very much,
which means he usu
ally wants me to be his
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
listening ear about work drama or
even just standard day-to-day stuff.
Which I don’t mind, I just usually
don’t know what he’s talking about.
And he gets very hurt if I have
plans that make it tough to listen to
him talk about work all night.
All of this being the case, he
has recently suggested we move
together to a new city and “start
over.” He is feeling the imbalance
in our social setups and, if I am
interpreting correctly, he wants us
to live somewhere we are BOTH
friendless, perhaps in hopes I’ll
have more time for him.
Initially when he asked I sort of
considered it, since a fresh start
is sometimes nice, but now I am
feeling pretty angry and resentful.
Isn’t it totally selfish for a person
to want their partner to give up
a happy social life in order to be
available on command?
— We Can’t Be Happy in the
Same Place
Sounds like it. Why are you even
together?
Could be a rhetorical question,
but I urge you to answer it. You
started dating, kept dating, and
agreed to marry for a reason, but
nothing in your letter says why. So,
again: Why are you together? Why
force it amid mutual distrust?
Chat with Carolyn online at
noon each Friday at www.
washingtonpost.com.

Opening lead: Queen of S?
North's raise to three spades, rather
than jumping to four, showed a little
something. South judged that it
couldn’t possibly be enough for slam
and he sensibly signed off in game.
Even 10 tricks was a challenge when
dummy’s king of hearts proved to be
useless.
South played low from dummy
on the first two heart leads, but he
had to make a decision on the third
round of hearts. One line of play
was to ruff the heart low, cash the
ace and king of diamonds, and lead
a third diamond. The plan would be
to ruff declarer's last diamond with
dummy’s 10 of spades and then
fall back on the club finesse for the
contract.
After some thought. South came
up with something better. He ruffed
the third heart with the jack of
spades, cashed the ace of spades,
and then led the queen of clubs from
his hand! West grabbed his king
and exited with a club to declarer’s
ace. South now cashed the king of
spades. When everyone followed
to the second trump, it was clear
sailing. He led the preserved eight
of spades to dummy’s 10, drawing
the last trump, and discarded his two
low diamonds on the jack and 10 of
clubs. Well played!
