I can’t face my partner’s mates after I embarrassed myself in front of them
DEAR DEIDRE: GOT blind drunk at a party and made a complete fool of myself in front of my boyfriend and his friends.
We’re going to see the same group of mates for a wedding next weekend and I’m dreading it.
I’m 33 and my boyfriend is 35. We’ve been together for four years.
The night of the party, I drank far too much on an empty stomach. I ended up throwing up all over the carpet then sobbing loudly in front of everyone.
I also accused my boyfriend of cheating on me with one of his friends, when he was just talking to her.
My boyfriend was really embarrassed. It took a while for things to go back to normal between us.

Now we’re going to see all the same people at this wedding, and I really don’t want to face them. I go bright red just at the thought of it.
My boyfriend really wants me to go, as the groom is one of his oldest mates.
DEIDRE SAYS: If you put this in perspective, I’m certain nobody else will be giving it a second thought.
At most, it will be relegated to a funny anecdote.
Your boyfriend’s friends know he loves you and must know you’re normally a good, stable person.
Not going to the wedding will make far more of a statement, as well as upsetting him.
Go, have fun, make sure you don’t drink too much and I’m sure you’ll feel much better about this afterwards.
