US EditionAsking Eric: Girlfriend appears to like whiskey - and other men
The narrator questions the girlfriend's explanation of talking to men and drinking whiskey, highlighting relationship insecurity rather than confirmed infidelity.
- Recently, the narrator left the restroom and interrupted a conversation between his girlfriend and a random man on the deck drinking alone, causing an awkward pause when she blurted, `That’s his bike`.
- The narrator, a 64-year-old man, feels his 59-year-old girlfriend constantly seeks attention from other men and worries when her niece arranges a girls' night at a local bar.
- The girlfriend explained the whiskey as a way to `check market prices`, a rationale the narrator found confusing, saying `You were talking to guys and 'checking the market price' of the whiskey, and that was confusing to me`.
- R. Eric Thomas, advice columnist, says the episode signals the narrator's insecurity more than definite misconduct, after the narrator sought an outsider's perspective.
- The columnist recommends using `I` statements like `I would like to be closer` when discussing concerns, then describing what happened without accusations, asking if Girlfriend sees your view, and listening first.
