Hey Myron!
LETTERS TO MYRON
Hey Myron, I recently went on a first date with a guy who used a Groupon coupon to pay for our meal. He’s a nice guy, but it was kind of a turn off that he would use a coupon on the first date. I don’t think that was a good first impression. Am I wrong? – Turned-Off Dear Turned-Off,
If that’s how you feel, that’s how you feel. But consider this… you stated that he was a nice guy. So apparently, the date went well, he was respectful and kept your attention during your time together. However, the coupon was an issue. I’m assuming that he didn’t take you to one of the cheap fast food joints, otherwise it would have been a part of this letter. So let’s look at this situation from another angle. Instead of
being “cheap”, maybe he is just smart with his money. If you’re really looking for a meaningful relationship as a result of dating, you most certainly have much more important things to worry about on a first date…and a “Groupon” should not be a deal breaker. Consider this…if this guy is smart with his money, he can become a “boyfriend” who is smart with his money. If he’s a boyfriend who is smart with his money, he can one day become a
“husband” who is smart with his money. So is it such a bad thing now?
“Instead of being ‘cheap’, maybe he is just smart with his money.”
Hey Myron, I want to trust my husband but I’m really concerned. As he was getting undressed one evening after work, I noticed that his underwear was on backwards. I actually saw him get dressed that morning and his underwear was on correctly. I don’t wanna jump to conclusions, but I think he might be cheating. What do you think? – Concerned Dear Concerned, I’m not going to say that he is cheating. But let’s see…his underwear was on correctly when you saw him last, which means he had to remove his underwear at some point during the day. You didn’t mention any doctor’s appointment nor did 22 | Southern Soul l October 2014
you mention whether he works out during the course of the day. So the first question is why would he have to remove his underwear? Question number two is why were they on backwards? Did he have to put them back on in a hurry? Did he have to put
them back on in the dark? Those are questions I cannot answer, although I could speculate. It’s very suspicious. You have some questions to ask and I don’t think that you should let too much time pass before you ask them. Only he has the answers. Find a way to communicate your concerns with your husband.
