Boyfriend's Guilty Secret Leaves His Girlfriend Feeling Left Out
In a bizarre annual tradition that has left his girlfriend feeling disrespected, her boyfriend is bringing home not one, but two female friends to spend the holidays at his house. The twist? He caters to them with luxury treatments, including driving them around and taking them out for dinner, while completely excluding his long-term partner from the festivities.
The girlfriend has expressed an interest in joining in on the fun, but her boyfriend's behavior makes her feel like she's just an afterthought. "I am never included, even though I have expressed an interest in doing so," she writes to Dear Abby. This is unacceptable behavior, especially when one considers that it's a yearly occurrence.
The problem may not be limited to the girlfriend herself, as some experts believe her boyfriend might be keeping his relationship under wraps from his ex-wife and their daughters.
In other news, an elderly woman in Florida is struggling with the issue of dog encounters during her daily walks. Whenever she meets someone walking their dog, she's often expected to pet the animal despite her fear of canines.
However, a local resident suggests smiling at dog walkers and keeping on walking – it's a way to project friendliness without being forced into an unpleasant interaction.
Meanwhile, another senior citizen is seeking advice on how to scale back gift-giving during holidays and birthdays. With multiple family members lavishing her with new items that she already has more than enough of, she wants to hint to them that perhaps just one or two gifts would be sufficient.
A local expert advises the woman to speak with each of these individuals individually and suggest an alternative – using donations towards a chosen charity in their place. It's an honest approach that is likely to resonate with loved ones.

she deserves so much better than being treated like this, especially during the holidays when it's supposed to be a time of love and connection. it's not cool that he's prioritizing his friends over her... like, what even is the point of having a girlfriend if you're just gonna leave her out like that? 
and those dog encounters sound super awkward too 
I can imagine how uncomfortable it must be for someone who's afraid of dogs. maybe just being polite and smiling doesn't always cut it? but hey, scaling back gift-giving is a great idea... I mean, who needs all that clutter in their life? 
like what kinda relationship is all about treatin ur partner 2 luxury while neglectin them in the most basic way... sounds 2 me like he's got some major issues 
probly been doin dis 4 yrs now & his GF is just gettin tired of bein ignored 
anywayz i feel bad 4 her tho 
guess she deserves better 
He's got his long-term girlfriend feeling left out and disrespected, just because he wants to bring home two new girls for the holidays 
. I mean, come on! It's not exactly a subtle move, is it? 
And to think she actually wanted to join in on the fun... poor girl.
That's some sneaky stuff right there. I'm not saying he's doing anything wrong, per se... but it's definitely a red flag.
But hey, at least we've got some other stories to talk about... like that elderly woman with dog anxiety 
or the senior citizen who wants to scale back on gift-giving 
he should just be honest with his girlfriend about what's going on instead of treating her like she doesn't matter... it's not the end of the world if he wants to hang out with his friends but to do so at his girlfriend's expense? no thanks... and I feel for that elderly woman struggling with dog encounters 
maybe we can all just be a little more considerate and friendly when we meet other people on the street, like smiling and saying hello
