So when you need to show up with a boyfriend for those occasional situations, have an arrangement with a Male Friend (say … Boyd) that’s in a similar situation. Aunt Esther is pleased (although she’s going to give ‘Boyd’ the third degree), you escape as soon as possible to go to ‘another event’ and hit a bar.
I’ve been going to family get-togethers alone my whole adlut life and no one’s given me any grief about it. Maybe because I’m a guy. Talk about a double standard.
david_42: That is such sad progress, but did they marry? I know several who worked harder than lil’ ol’ straight I, but when they had the chance, continued as before.

Aunt Esther switched to asking about your job, and YOU thought “boyfriend” was the easier subject. Now you are slacking on the job again. Priorities
