Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My brother and his companion have invited my husband and I for supper every weekend since they moved in together about six months ago. I knew from the beginning this weekly get-together could not be sustainable because of personality clashes. I’ve tried to get out of some dinners by telling them I am having the children over, or that I have other plans. They change the day and have even invited my children.
How do I get out of these weekly dinners without offending them? I’ve run out of excuses and would like to tell them the truth. What should I do?
— Getting Stuffed, Winnipeg
Dear Getting Stuffed: The couple inviting you may be starting to feel they have locked themselves in, too, so tell them pleasantly, not apologetically: “Thanks very much for the weekly invitations, but we would like to spend Sundays in many different ways and continue the dinners every four to six weeks.” Good luck. You may even hear a tiny sigh of relief on their end.
