Husband doesn’t wait for his spouse to get out the car when they’re out together.
He feels that since we have been married for 26 years, he does not need to “date” me any longer and that I can handle things myself. Of course I can handle things myself, but I got married to have a partner to walk through life beside me.And he should also quickly be dispelled of the notion that he does not have to treat you with respect — which is what “not dating you” anymore really means. Miss Manners recommends that you have a stern chat with him about what it means to be a good partner.
Father always expresses surprise that I wait until my birthday to open the gift, and says he doesn’t mind if I open it the day I receive it, as my siblings do theirs. I think that it’s improper and impolite to open a birthday gift before the day itself unless there is a pressing need.Once a present is deliveredBut just between us, Miss Manners is in agreement with you.
Where she differs with you, however, is in your telling your father and siblings that they are being rude for behaving otherwise. That, she is afraid, is also up to them.
