WONDERWORD ANSWER
FOR APRIL 7
Why is sons fiancee
whispering to him
with others around?
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).

www.washingtonpost.com.
