JOHN GRAY'S MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUSDear John: My boyfriend is going to Atlantic City with his buddies for a last-minute trip. I'd like to go along, too. How can I let him know without seeming like I'm intruding? — Suspicious in East Brunswick, N.J. Dear Suspicious: Both men and women need time with their friends without their partners feeling jealous of these relationships. Any way you shake it, if your boyfriend and his buddies are looking to get away for a guys weekend, your presence will put the kibosh on their fun and games. Trust me, hanging with them is not what you really want, which is a romantic weekend with your boyfriend. Let him go away with the boys, but ask him to commit to a weekend alone with you some other time — at a place of your choosing, preferably some place where passion is the prime objective. That's one area where his buddies can't compete. Dear John: My boyfriend "Frank" and I have been together for nearly three years. We both work full time, go to school full time and live an hour apart. We basically spend time together on the weekends and occasionally during the week, but he talks about marriage and children all the time and I know he loves and cares for me. My cousin is getting married next month, and I asked Frank to be my guest at the wedding.
Dear Worried Now: Certain men are peacocks and welcome the opportunity to be put on display at large gatherings. On the other hand, a shyer guy may find it pretty overwhelming to meet so many members of his partner's family all at one time. Reach out to Frank again. In a calm and loving manner, explain to him that this is an important event in your life — it would mean a great deal to you if he were there to share in it. If he agrees, then prior to the wedding, invite him to join you at home for several less formal get-togethers with various family members. That way, by the time the wedding rolls around, he'll feel like one of the family. John Gray is the author of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus."
