Hey Sheri,

It's all about respect and I think as you and your bf have been dating for a long time you both are starting to forget about that.

On your bf's part, not remembering to introduce you is not acceptable. If he knows that you don't know many people at the party he should first and foremost be taking your feelings into consideration. It sucks not getting introduced because then you're made to feel ackward. This is especially unfortunate if he had forgotten before and you told him that it bothered you.

That being said, did he actually apologize to you for the incident? And if he did, did you drop it or keep bugging him about it? It could be an honest mistake that he feels dumb about but if you keep hassling him about it, it's not going to solve anything, just add conflict.

Your harsh comment about him being a dork really troubles me though. I realize that it's just said out of anger, but it gives the impression that you think with dating him you're stooping below your level. If I had a girl say something like that to me I'd seriously consider dumping her. The comment itself isn't too bad, but the underlying feeling of it would really bother me.

I really didn't mean for this to sound so mean. Every couple has the way they deal with conflict and some of it really doesn't make sense to me yet it works.

Good Luck,
Jamie
