Just Ask Joey

Dear Joey I completely love your advice and need your help. I'm not a very social person but have taken to having lunch with "the girls" I teach with from time to time. But now, one of the girls has decided that she wants to include the douchebag husband of one of us (uh, not mine). And he's an asshole. He insults everyone. He breathes through his nose when he eats. He snorts. His hair is greasy. I cannot believe that my friend, who is very critical of others, cannot see this. We are 3 or 4 females who want to rant. She invites this dickweed, so we can't rant. ding dang. help. Helpless in Virginia

Dear Virginia Your group sounds like Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and even Charlotte, pre-movie; now they need to call each other's people in order to get a proper sit-down. But now for the question at hand: What you are describing is a sacred meeting between women to cackle and talk shit about everyone and everything and, most importantly, allow DUDES a break. Unless your friend’s husband is gay, which he very well might be, there is no reason for him to be there. It is just plain rude for your friend to invite him, huge faux pas. You’ve got to lay it on the line, but not just you, all of you. You have got to let her know that either he goes, or they both go. And if she doesn’t go for it, you should fight. Joey Maiocco
