Dear Barnaby,
My boyfriend spends more time on his blackberry then he does talking to me. He barely looks me in the eye when he’s talking to me anymore, and when we had dinner at my parents’ house the other day he was texting on it under the table during the meal. My father was not impressed. I want to say something, but worry he’ll think I’m needy. What’s your advice?
Love Kimberly
Hey Kimberly,
Do you have any really lovely high heels and fabulous dresses that don’t get worn because your boyfriend isn’t paying you enough attention? I’m sure you do. My advice is to pour yourself a glass of wine when you get home, put on some of these seriously neglected garments and heels and then stamp on your boyfriend’s blackberry until it is either a) completely smashed up and broken or b) you have released sufficient anger and frustration to leave you with a big smile on your face. This should show your boyfriend that you are ruthless and that he needs to have a good think about his pretentious handheld media device obsession.
Cheers
