My husband becomes tongue-tied and can’t make a decision when he's around other people. I don’t want to be his mother. What’s going on?
Dear Lisi: My husband and I get along great when we’re in the comfort of our own home. But as soon as there are other people around, it’s as though he’s never met me. He becomes tongue-tied, can’t hold a conversation, and can’t make a decision. I didn’t notice it as much when the kids were little because we were so focused on them. But now that they are double-digit tweens, they don’t need us to be so hands-on.
A short while later, our daughter had a tummy ache and wanted to go home. I wanted to stay and help clean up. I asked my husband to take our daughter home. He offered to stay and help clean up instead. I assured him I was fine to stay and that he should go. He just stood there until our daughter started to cry.Was your husband drunk or stoned? The picture you paint is one of an apathetic human, which can often happen under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Dear Lisi: One of my classmates is in trouble and I’m not sure how to help. I’m convinced that her boyfriend is physically abusing her. She’s originally from Nigeria and has very dark skin. It’s hard for me to see any bruises, so I think it’s been going on for some time. Of course, I apologized for hurting her and hugged her, but then she flinched again, and I saw a bruise on her back. I tried to talk to her about it, but she made up some excuse.There is no doubt that your friend is scared. She’s scared of what her boyfriend is doing to her and what he’s going to do to her. And I’m sure she’s afraid of the repercussions if he finds out she told someone.
