[QUOTE="witzend, post: 578759, member: 99"] Well, I do this kind of thing all the time... Did you say it in a group of people or just to one or two persons? If your husband doesn't mind or supports this cause, [I]and[/I] he likes the group, [I]and[/I] you're not steadfastly against, (just not your cup of tea), I would approach the person I spoke to, or the alpha person in the group I spoke to in a quiet way and say, "I felt so embarrassed that I put my foot in it last week when I said such-and-such. I would [I]never[/I] want to give the impression that I was [I]anti[/I] this thing, it's just not [I]my[/I] thing. husband's opinions are more like yours. Isn't that the [I]wonderful thing[/I] about being married so long? We can have different opinions about this type of thing and [I]still[/I] be made for each other!" I would probably throw in a "It can be [I]so awkward[/I] when you're new to a place and you don't know what their traditions are. I hope you'll forgive me if I offended anyone." If they don't fall for that, I don't know [I]what[/I] I'd say. [/QUOTE]
