In a recent Dear Abby column, a husband expressed discomfort with his wife and friends wanting to go to dance clubs where they feel out of place due to their age. Despite feeling awkward and getting strange looks, they continue to go along to support their wives. The husband feels conflicted as he wants his wife to enjoy herself but also wants to feel comfortable. The husband seeks advice on whether his perspective is valid or if he should just “suck it up.”
Abby advises that no one is “too old” to go dancing and suggests the husband and his friends consider taking dance lessons to improve their confidence on the dance floor. She also emphasizes that the husband’s feelings are valid and his wife should not be making him feel uncomfortable or punishing him for expressing his concerns.
In another letter to Dear Abby, a reader shares their unpleasant experience when meeting friends at a restaurant. Despite arriving on time, their friends had already ordered and started eating without waiting for them. Abby agrees that this was rude behavior and suggests the reader may want to reconsider dining with those friends in the future.
Overall, Dear Abby offers insightful advice on navigating social situations and emphasizes the importance of communication and respect in relationships.
