Dear Amy: Should I tell her how I feel, or do I keep it to myself?
Dear Amy: I’ll get straight to the point. My mother-in-law dresses in clothes that are too tight or too short. The clothes aren’t revealing, necessarily, but they don’t flatter her figure at all. They make her look like she has absolutely no sense of style. I feel bad for her. I know that she thinks she looks good in these clothes, but I also know that she would want to know if something looked bad on her. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea how to broach the subject.
– Breaking Up Is Hard to Do Dear Breaking Up: You need to back away from the intensity of these weekly dinners, and try to transition to a relationship that is less loaded, and more neighborly. If you want to address this with a degree of honesty, you could say, “These dinners were a lifeline during the pandemic, but we’ve decided it’s time to resume our pre-pandemic habits and not do these weekly dinners. It’s just become too much.” Yes, this is only a degree of honesty.
