Dear Amy: Recently, my fiance and I went out with his friend (of 30 years) “George,” and George’s new girlfriend, “Janet.”
After some chitchat, Janet reached over and stroked my fiance’s face without uttering a word.My fiance left the table almost immediately to use to restroom himself. Upon his return, he switched his seat to be on the other side of me .
George was unfazed, and blamed it on Janet’s drinking that evening. He has since invited us to other events . We have declined and reiterated the reason.George and Janet will definitely be there.What is your take on this? Do you agree that we should keep our distance from Janet?Dear Protective: Your fiance’s response to this unwanted and uninvited touching is extremely common.
Whether consciously or not, she is counting on a double-standard regarding how people tend to respond when men’s physical boundaries are violated. I tried to help, but by pointing out all that she was doing wrong, I think that I have actually made matters worse.
