It’s another edition of our weekly advice segment with expert, Author Alexandra Slater a.k.a. The Hingham Housewife. A listener wrote in a problem about her thrill-seeking boyfriend and the disagreement they’re having over an upcoming ski trip:
Dear Hingham Housewife:I’ve been dating an “adrenaline junkie” for the past 8 months and as much as I love hiking and swimming in the summertime, winter sports are just not my thing. My boyfriend is INSISTING I go skiing for the long weekend coming up in February , but I don’t feel comfortable as I had a bad experience in my teens, which resulted in an injury. He is aware of this. I do want to support him as a ski bunny from the lodge.He isn’t taking NO for an answer and signed me up for a lesson, without my knowledge. The lesson is non-refundable. Please help me get through this situation without hurting his feelings and me hurting myself physically!Signed,Ski Bunny in crisis
She might have got injured because she didn’t know what she was doing and he wants her to try again better ‘equipped’ with training.
I’m afraid that this young woman’s boyfriend is seemingly controlling.
She is frightened and adverse to it. I believe he is not respecting her decisions.
He is too forceful in my opinion.
I doesn’t seem very loving.
Patti from Marshfield said:
My husband did this to me years ago. I had never skied, so I bought a great ski suit, went to the baby hill – almost killed everyone on the slope SO.. I texted my husband, told him I loved him and that I was going to sip hot chocolate in the chalet and meet him when he was done skiing – it worked and we had a great weekend!
