Dear Lady Melbourne,
My boyfriend is critical of my taste in shoes. What should I do?
Jane, N.Y, New York
Dear Jane,
This is not so hard. The man is a monster! Even though he should perhaps get credit for noticing, (He’s not gay is he? If he is, that is even more serious – for you, that is) – dump him! Lady M will put up with a lot but this is intolerable! Though, on second thought, this may be a little harsh for you dear Jane, so given that I’m assuming you have good taste, ignore him.
