Dear Amy: My partner of four years has a group of college friends.
The more effort I put into trying to make these people like me, the more it feels like I’m not myself.
Of course, I have considered just not going to any of his gatherings, but I want to support my partner just as he supports me. If you don’t enjoy these friend reunions, then you could either skip them altogether, or show up to say hello and make your exit when you’re ready to leave.Changing how you feel is within your power, and this power is accessed by changing your behavior.
