Advice from Amy Dickinson.
I have lunch regularly with a close friend, “Celia.” As soon as we are seated, Celia will pull out her cellphone and nestle it right next to her fork. Invariably, Celia gets a call during the meal, grabs her phone .
I love my friend. And I will continue to go to lunch with her and wait for her to return to our conversation when she gets a phone call.So I’m writing to you in an attempt to let people who are this attached to their phones to give the rest of us a little more consideration when we are together for a meal and conversation.A quick story: Several years ago, I was visiting with a good friend. I was idly leafing through a J Crew catalog while she was talking to me.
Of course, she’ll justify her behavior . You can add, “It makes me feel like an afterthought.”Anabel has never brought my husband or me a card or gift for our birthdays or Christmas. She has never offered to help clean up after a meal, even when my son is helping.My biggest concern is her lack of motivation. Anabel’s type of work doesn’t offer medical insurance or benefits. I feel like she is pushing Jeramiah to get married because next year she will no longer be on her parents’ insurance.
I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize my relationship with him, so I didn’t answer his question directly.
