My best friend and my girlfriend resent the time I spend with the other.
Start by telling Kara that if you wanted a romance with Leia, it would have already happened, and that your friendship with Leia is important to you. Then tell Kara you care about her and feel there could be a future with her, but only if she’s able to control her jealousy and insecurity where Leia is concerned.
After that, explain to Leia that you care about your friendship very much and don’t want her to feel neglected, but now that you have a girlfriend, you have less time to spend with her than you did in the past. Then cross your fingers.From the time I was a child, I’ve always wanted to be helpful. If people asked me for favors, no matter how small or out of the way they were, I was always happy to help.
Recently, though, I have been noticing that when I ask for help in return, there are very few people I can actually rely on. I know a lot of people consider me naïve and gullible because of my willingness to help, but I have reached the point where I don’t want to do anything for anyone unless they’re sincere about their friendship.FRUSTRATED AND ANNOYEDYou don’t have to be confrontational or unpleasant. Accomplish that goal by being less helpful —We are planning our daughter’s wedding and trying to figure out how to politely ask the groom’s mother to help with the finances.
As to who should ask his mother to contribute, that question should come from your daughter’s fiance, after which a conversation may or may not begin with your soon-to-be in-law.
