Dear Miss
Manners: My
husband of 30
years has a
stepmother who
thinks she can
educate people
about manners.
She has come to
my house for my
Easter meal every year since we
were married. Every year, she
begins plating her food while I am
still cooking and while other guests
are visiting.
They live an hour from us, and
we have been to their home maybe
four times. One time was for
dinner near Christmas. I had
drunk a pop in the car, and had the
bottle with me when we entered
their house, planning to put it in
her recycling. She told me how
rude it was to bring a drink into her
home. Then she served us the
leftovers from her side of the
family’s celebration from days
before.
More than once, she has
embarrassed me by calling out my
failings in her eyes. One time, she
took me as a guest to a charityevent. I ate my food with the
correct silverware, napkin on my
lap — but then in front of her
friends, she told me I wasn’t
supposed to eat the entire broccoli
spear, just the stalk. Another time,
my father-in-law told me that I
hurt her feelings because I would
not allow my 3-year-old son to play
with an inflatable plastic beer
bottle.
But I’m truly angry that my
husband will not stand up for me.
He would never speak up on my
behalf because he does not want to
be in opposition to her.I avoid her now, and I don’t go to
his family functions. But I’m stuck
on Easter: How do I avoid her
“lessons” given to me in front of
others?While she cannot solve your
marital problems, Miss Manners
can at least tell you how to deal
with those public corrections.
Smile blandly after she delivers
one of those diatribes, and then
turn the smile toward the
witnesses. “I’m so fortunate,” you
should say, “to have a stepmother-
in-law who cares enough to pointout my every fault.”Dear Miss Manners: Could you
please share your opinion on an
issue where new times may
possibly call for new protocols?
When sitting at a shared table
with others in a coffee shop,
restaurant or classroom, invariably
some people plop their used mask
on the shared table in front of
everyone, often quite close to the
food and/or coffee of other guests.
Wouldn’t it be more polite to put
used masks out of sight in a purse
or pocket?New protocols can often be
deduced from old ones. Placing a
mask on the table would be like
parking a handkerchief there after
blowing one’s nose, and should
never be done.New Miss Manners columns are posted
Monday through Saturday on
washingtonpost.com/advice. You can
send questions to Miss Manners at her
website, missmanners.com. You can

Dear Amy: “Julie”
and I have been
friends for about
13 years, ever
since we were
college
roommates.
It was originally a good
relationship, but for about the
past eight years, she has been
absolutely miserable.
I have listened with
compassion, tried to be there,
offered any help I can think of,
tried to give advice when asked,
suggested she talk to a therapist,
etc., but she does not make any
changes, and nothing seems to
help.
She dislikes her job, the town
she lives in, her husband,
absolutely everything.
I can barely get a word in
because she is always
complaining. I feel like I am not
being empathetic because I can
barely stand to talk to her
anymore.
It would be easier for me to
continue our relationship if she
made any changes to make her
life more fulfilling for herself.
I have three small kids, a full-
time job, and many extended
family obligations.
For the past month, I have
really tried to draw back and just
say that I'm busy when she wants
to talk, but now she's calling and
texting multiple times a day
because I think she can tell I
would like some distance.
Should I feel bad distancing
myself? I’m one of her only
friends. How do I distance myself
in the kindest way possible?
— Unsure of Friend ObligationsUnsure: To recap: “Julie” does
not make any changes, and
nothing seems to help.
The reason nothing seems tohelp is because Julie doesn't
make any changes.
Venting is exactly that: letting
off steam from a boiling kettle.
But the kettle always boils again
until you find a way to adjust the
flame. Julie hasn't found a way to
do that.
You are now dodging her and,
because you've reached
friendship end-stage, you could
try one last time to help her by
essentially taking over a
conversation and — for once —
having it be all about you.
Try: “It’s as if your problems
have taken up all the space where
our friendship used to be. But I
have a life, too, and I have my
own stresses and heartaches.
Good things, too! I miss our
friendship because I want to
share these things. That's why
I've pulled away recently. I hope
we can find our way back.”Dear Amy: I am happily married,
and after moving to a new town I
have found a position as a bar
manager.
I have worked in the
hospitality industry as a server,
bartender and supervisor for
many years but this time it is
different and difficult because I
am butting heads with a male
manager.
I like the place, it's very close to
home, and except for him, the
staff is wonderful. He is
condescending, controlling
(which he calls “OCD”), and he is
just not pleasant to work with —
for anyone.
But the owners like him and he
has been there over five years,
whereas I am five months in. I
have gathered from the way he
talks that he is in an unhappy
marriage and would rather be at
work than at home. In contrast, I
enjoy the job, but I have a lifeoutside and I intend to live it.
I am a tough cookie, but I am at
the point where I wonder if it is
worth it to work under these
conditions.
I do have other options, but I
have never let anyone make me
leave a job. Can you give me your
insight? It’s causing me
unnecessary stress and anxiety.
— Should I Stay or GoStay or Go: I say, exercise your
options. I understand that your
professional experience and
personal grit might make it seem
like a capitulation but think of it
this way: the person making you
leave this job is not your
manager, but YOU.
You are being strong, resilient
and decisive. Line up your next
job, do your best to assess in
advance whether it will be a
genuine improvement for you,
and let the last round be on you.Dear Amy: “Loving Husband”
has a wife who wants to open her
own business with no business
plan. They should look into
classes at their local community
college or university.
I told my son I'd support him
once he finished the program. He
learned so much and now realizes
why so many businesses fail.
He decided to wait until he has
the expertise and contacts he
needs to succeed.
