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.

No win-win, in either case.

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
