I feel conflicted. I want to do the gracious and mature thing. Wondering Dear Wondering, A week is too long to be sequestered with someone you dislike so much. An evening you could manage, but a week is a prescription for homicide. Accept the possibility that you may be entirely wrong about the woman, and tell your friend that you're much too busy to entertain them for a week.
Life is short.
Don't beg misery. Dear Mr. Blue, I've been dating this guy seriously for almost two years, and recently he proposed to me. I'm 18 and he's 19. I really love him a lot, but my family doesn't think I should go through with it. Listen to your family.
