I am recently engaged and my fiancé wants me to meet all of his friends, of course. My dilemma is when he gets around his old buddies because he forgets that I am there. How can I adjust?
This would be a good one for Dr. Phil. But I will assure you that it is not that he forgets you. He just gets pre-occupied when he is excited about being around his old pals. Remember, although you are very important, his pals played an important part of his life as well. It will be detrimental if you act jealous.
Discuss your feelings ahead of time. Possibly he can introduce you to another fiancée or wife so that you may bond with the women. You will have to give him space and respect his territory. When he is wrapped up in conversation, sit and listen to the conversation or walk around and socialize. Approach individuals who are standing alone. Be proud that you are engaged to him. Enjoy the hors d'oeuvres. Watch people having fun. The best way to become a friend is to be one. If you demonstrate respect for him, your mate will reciprocate when he is at your reunions and family parties. If you start a marriage being insecure, you are headed for serious trouble.
