etiquette

You sent me one, do I need to send you one back? I’m not sure what to do. Again, another issue has come up. Surprised? How come it seems I don’t know the most basic rules of etiquette for all the little things in life?

A few years ago, I told someone how much I make. I’d just gone freelance and I was having what I thought was a really good year — after a glass or two of wine I had a salary swagger moment and told a close family member what I’d earned that year.

I’ve received many kudos for my book How to Raise a Boyfriend from women (and some men) who now understand why they are clueless when it comes to basic etiquette in relationships. But many men have complained about women complaining about them.

I can’t stand when people are mad at me. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not above apologizing when I know I’ve done or said something wrong. I’m also not above apologizing, even when I haven't done something wrong and the other person believes I have.
