Racism…sexism…alcoholism…
Offensive friend of boyfriend
Dear Doug:
My boyfriend Jake and I each have friends the other doesn't really like, which is normally ok with both of us. However, the most recently befriended"Tyson"is very offensive. He not only makes comments I find racist and sexist, but also drinks heavily.
Although I've told Jake my feelings, he's hanging out with Tyson more frequently than ever"and worse, Jake seems to be trying to keep up with Tyson's drinking. Jake said I should lighten up and just get to know his friend because he can be a "nice person."What should I do?
Signed,
Jake's"not Tyson's"girl
