But sometimes your spouse or partner or friend needs to be told that what they fancy looks wonderful on is really not a good look. I have witnessed it myself more than once with friends. “No! You can’t wear that dress. You aren’t a circus clown!”
This is a common result of too little rest, probably headache from too much drink, and just the overall let down from the whole experience. Hang in there Fred. It will pass. I don’t know why people do those things. I would think the day after would so not be worth it. I have a feeling you are smarter, Fred.
Safety in numbers, but only if those numbers stick with you. And these seem to be sticking.
