Fictional launch letter

Dear Duck,

My friend got into a relationship and now says we about everything. Even opinions she used to hate. Have I lost her?

— Third Person Singular

Dear Remaining Individual,

Invite her to do something just the two of you. Ask what she thinks, not what the household has agreed to release publicly.

New love can temporarily merge two calendars and several opinions. Give her room to rediscover the first-person pronoun. Do not cross-examine her partner over dinner; the kingdom has enough tribunals without one concerning whether she still likes olives.

Your turn.

Ask a duck
