Dogs & dining;married for money;bf pays; job loneliness

Dr Julie Helmrich, famous Shrink'n'Drink psychologist from Milwaukee, answered these questions: 1) How do we tell dear friends who got dogs who now are at the table when we dine at their place, that we won't be coming over for dinner anymore? 2) Should I leave my husband who I like but only married him for the money and lifestyle he has, 3) Is it a red flag that my boyfriend, who makes more money than me, doesn't want to go to the places I can afford, so he always pays for more expensive places, 4) I love my job but am new kid on block, older than others, and small office, & am not invited to join for lunch or happy hour so am lonely. 5) Do people really want to change bad behaviors?
