Tough Talk,
My wife and I have recently started taking yoga. We really love our teacher who is a Vedic Master and our fellow students. They are kind, decent and compassionate (unless you drag a 20 dollar bill between them – but that’s another story). However, my wife can’t go five minutes without getting up and having to go to the bathroom or needs this or that or whatever. It’s like she is doing her best to annoy everyone and ruin the class. (One time she even cut the cheese and everyone was disgusted.) I’m embarrassed when people look at me and say what the hell is wrong with her. I think my teacher wants to boot her. TT, what should I do? (Essex, ND)
Essex,
I would talk to your Vedic Master and fellow students and see if anyone agrees with you. I’m sure most if not all do. Then see if they would like to have an interaction with your wife where you sit around and discuss your feeling and emotions as to why she is disgusting, needs to keep her big fat mouth shut and to stop being an all-around jerk. Be tough, but fair. She will appreciate having her annoying behavior explained to her by a group of basically strangers with her husband egging them on.
