Compromise On Parties With A Clear Role
- Make a deal with your partner about parties so you have a clear role and exit plan.
- Go early, stay as long as you can tolerate, then leave so your partner can continue if they wish.

- Parties are often unpredictable and feel like a gamble because you can't control social exchanges.
- Not enjoying parties doesn't make you a weirdo or necessarily mean you're introverted.
Attend Socials As An Act Of Love
- Accompany your partner to social events as an act of love with a defined purpose.
- Accept you may not enjoy it; you are there to support them, not to have a brilliant time.
