Dear Rodger,
In two months from now I will marry a man who has just two little quirks.
When we go to restaurants, he always gets angry with the waiter. Sometimes he criticizes the guy for having a bad attitude and other times he makes the waiter take back the food because it is cold. No matter what, there is always an unpleasant argument with the waiter that causes me great anxiety or embarrassment.
Things are different in the car because it does not get so public. It used to be that he would drive and would always yell and honk at some other driver. So I started to drive, but he still yells and now leans over to my side and honks the horn. What this means is that I am always afraid when we are driving in the car.
Should I just suck it up and accept that no one is perfect?
Uncomfortable and Afraid
Dear Uncomfortable and Afraid~
It’s time for a quiz. So take out your no. 2 pencil & answer two questions:
1. I am willing, for the rest of my life, to be filled with anxiety whenever I go to a restaurant with my future husband, knowing that I will be embarrassed & have an unpleasant time. Yes or No
2. I am willing, for the rest of my life, to be afraid whenever I get in the car with my future husband, knowing that he will yell & honk the horn. Yes or No
If your answer to both questions is Yes, marry the guy.
If your answer to either question is No, postpone the wedding until the guy goes to a professional counselor specializing in anger management.

ROFL once again. keep up the good work!
Reading your blog is the highlight of my morning. Even when you slam some girl for being an idiot, you do it in a funny way so you don’t come across as mean or bitchy—well hardly ever!
I find it so distressing that here is a girl who is on the brink of marrying a particular man even though she is terrified every time she gets in the car with him. What is she thinking?
I agree with Maggie that I like your blog a lot. You give good advice without being overly harsh. And you are entertaining to read.
I also find it distressing that this woman was ready to marry the guy. She clearly is not thinking at all. She is just plain stupid.
while i agree that the woman who wrote this letter did not make a good decision about this guy, i do not think it is fair for a commenter to call her "stupid" or for the blogger to post such an insulting comment.
it maybe wasn't very nice of the commenter to call the letter writer stupid (although i agree that she was) - but i don't think the blogger who controls the comment postings should censor what people comment - he as right to post that comment
good solid and accurate answer presented in a LOL style
i used to be just like this guy when i went to a restaurant. i went to a counselor specializing in anger management. it really does work. now i have no problems at all in restaurants.
