Dear Carolyn: My 20-something son’s fiancee regu larly holds whispered conversations with him when others are around - at the dinner table, in the car, or while several people are watch ing TV or a movie. My son sometimes seems uncomfort able with her doing this but doesn’t stop it. It seems very rude to me, but I feel as though saying something would be overstepping. Ideas? — Old Fuddy Duddy Yep, rude. Strangely juvenile, too, so it sounds like the rude of the frail, not the rude of the mean. I’m guessing some combina tion of her not being taught, not having confidence in herself, not having skills to manage better when she’s out of her comfort zone. These tributaries can feed into prob lems a lot less sympathetic than timid whispers - like becoming possessive of your son, pulling him away from his comfort zones (family and friends) and exclusively toward hers, and other con trolling behaviors. So it’s not merely overstepping if you say something; you would also risk intensifying her discomfort “when oth ers are around,” thereby amplifying the risk that she’ll pressure him away from others entirely. And that he’ll agree, to back her. Blah. I’m sorry. You can “zag,” though, counterin tuitively, and respond to her alienating behavior with a warmer embrace. Gently, for sure, giving her room to find her way toward you —the nervous- woodland-creature treatment — but still using all your devices to show her she is safe and welcome in your family. Dear Carolyn: My best friend from grade school is getting married. She is not the best planner and has a lot of anxiety, under standable. Before the pandemic, I was engaged and had planned my own wed ding, but then my fiance and I parted ways. Since it’s all still relatively fresh, I am helping my friend a lot with her plans. However, the other day, we got into a spat and she texted me, “When you have your own wedding, you can do whatever you want.” Like. That WAS the plan before my ex physically abused me and I had to move in with my mother. But thank you for that. And she is well aware of all of this. I just feel like she is acting like a prin cess and unwilling to take advice from someone who isn’t “all the way” mar ried. How do I work with her and still be a good friend? —Needing Help You back off at the first back-off signal, even an incredibly crappy and insensitive one. And you stay backed off until invited again to weigh in (and she apologizes for the nasty shot). Chat with Carolyn at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.
