Relationships Are Work: But How Much Is Too Much?
You should mostly just know
If you’re with the right person, you should have a pretty good gage for his overall intentions. In that last example, your partner should have given you the benefit of the doubt that you A) forgot that coworker’s name, so you couldn’t introduce him or B) Just had a moment of forgetfulness, were excited to see that old friend, and totally—accidentally—neglected to introduce your boyfriend. If you both regularly see these scenarios completely differently, something’s very wrong.
