Dear Dean Magazine - Issue 2

Dear Dean,
My husband and I work together (own our company)
and recently at a meeting he publicly took credit for
all my (genius) hard work. Do you think it is possible
to get away with murder? Just kidding. But really,
how do I bring this up without getting into a huge
annoying fight? Thanks, appreciate the help!
Dear Every woman who did something a man took
credit for
That sucks eggs, sorry. Tell him next time he does that
you’re going to ask him to explain to the audience he
is regaling with his (your) genius, in detail exactly what
he did and how he did it. Then don’t save him when he
starts looking like a fool. That’ll break his habits. Also,
tell him with a definitive statement that you will talk
about your work, he can talk about his. End of story. If
it’s not the end of the story, decide if you want to be in
business with an immature narcissist.
Dear Dean,
I have a crush on my best friend, and I feel like every
movie, story, book, and cell in my brain is telling me it
would ruin the friendship if I was honest about it, but
I’m worried if I don’t act and he meets someone else.
Is it too risky? If I get rejected, will we be able to stay
friends? Orrr, what if he loves me, too?! Help meee!
Dear the friend who has a crush
That is thee worst position to be in, especially if your
friend is in a relationship. If they are, keep it to yourself
because that would be damaging to their relationship
and your friendship. Just because you feel something
doesn’t mean you have to share that feeling with
anyone. If they are not in a relationship and you aren’t
either, why not bring it up? Just go in knowing that the
dynamics of your friendship will change for better or
worse and you’ll have to accept the outcome.
Dear Dean,
My boyfriend is 15 years younger than me, and
someone recently asked me if he was my son
when we were in public. I was mortified and
haven’t been able to get over it. Do you think love
can last with such a big age difference?
Dear Grown Ass Adult Lady Living Her Best Life
Ignore the noise and enjoy that young man and all
his energy and compliance to your every whim and
wish. If it were reversed he would be celebrated so
you should too. The only tip I have is to keep him
on his feet and tell him to keep improving his…
skills.. or you’ll replace him like a shower curtain.
