Smile, Grin, And Bear It: 14 Times You Have To Bite Your Tongue In A Relationship
When he’s not making a good impression on your parents
When you get up to help clear the table, he remains seated. He’s quiet for most of the meal. He grabs a third glass of wine when everyone else stopped at the second. Look: he’s not trying to embarrass you. And pointing out that he is doing so, will only make him freeze like a deer in the headlights and feel seriously uncomfortable next time he sees your parents, and every time after that. His performance in front of your parents is similar to his performance in bed: if you criticize it, he will become impotent. So just be patient. Have faith that he’ll learn by your lead how to act around them.
