In a dilemma about feeling excluded from a work event, a person grapples with concerns of their girlfriend possibly being embarrassed by them. After overhearing her decline a plus-one invitation for an important event, the individual reflects on past experiences where they felt sidelined. They are encouraged to have an open conversation to express these feelings and explore potential reasons behind their girlfriend's discomfort and any needs for social growth in their relationship.
"At a time when there are no distractions, ask your girlfriend to talk. Tell her about the call you overheard and how you recalled a number of incidents where you felt she shooed you away during work functions."
"You can either work this out and find a way to grow together or not, but you shouldn't be forced to stay in limbo."
