Listener Dilemma: My Boyfriend is Forcing Me to Hit the Slopes! Ask the Hingham Housewife for Help...

It's another edition with our weekly advice expert, Author Alexandra Slater a.k.a. The Hingham Housewife. A listener wrote in her problem all about her thrill-seeking boyfriend and the disagreement they're having over an upcoming ski trip:

Dear Hingham Housewife:

 

I've been dating an "adrenaline junkie" for the past 8 months and as much as I love hiking and swimming in the summertime, winter sports are just not my thing. My boyfriend is INSISTING I go skiing for the long weekend coming up in February , but I don't feel comfortable as I had a bad experience in my teens, which resulted in an injury. He is aware of this. I do want to support him as a ski bunny from the lodge.

He isn't taking NO for an answer and signed me up for a lesson, without my knowledge. The lesson is non-refundable. Please help me get through this situation without hurting his feelings and me hurting myself physically!

 

Signed,

Ski Bunny in crisis

Now this seemed to be a huge conundrum for Rob and Beth to ponder over and luckily, the Hingham Housewife has just the right tips for our snow-averse listener-friend.
