Abandoned?
Dear Dyke Whisperer, My girlfriend (we have dated for over a year) is going to another city to visit her parents for Christmas. They have invited me to visit too, but my girlfriend doesn’t want me to go. I’m confused and hurt. My family lives in another state so I’d probably end up spending Christmas alone or with friends. Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

Dear Abandoned,
Maybe there are things about your girlfriend’s family that she hasn’t discussed with you. Maybe it’s better for you not to go. There may be family conflicts, illness, and/or craziness at hand that she doesn’t want to expose you to. She may be protecting you. It’s her family; it’s her decision.
Make alternate plans. Have your own private Christmas celebration either before she leaves or after she returns.
