A recent letter to Dear Abby shared a story of a woman who felt neglected by her husband at a family event. The husband was asked to sit at the head table, leaving the wife alone in a separate area. When she expressed her hurt feelings, the husband dismissed them, causing further tension in their relationship. Dear Abby advised that the wife’s feelings were valid and that the husband’s actions were thoughtless and self-centered.
Another letter discussed a diner who felt uncomfortable with a waiter who inserted himself into their conversation multiple times. The reader questioned if it was appropriate for waiters to engage so intensely with customers. Dear Abby suggested that while some may appreciate the personal touch, it is crucial for waitstaff to gauge the diners’ reactions and adjust their behavior accordingly.
