Re: Problematic?
MsAshoo…even though your father may be the greater one at fault…it’s not acceptable behavior for him to be venting out his frustration about your dad in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable and for you to tell him that “I don’t like it.” Fine…if you think your dad is more at fault…so be it. But to downplay or make excuses for another issue…it not wise. The whole “you’re biased” reasoning just doesn’t sound right to me. If this guy is only discussing the actions of your father and how they made his family feel is one thing…maybe that won’t make you feel so uneasy. But if you feel that your boyfriend’s choice of words is offensive…then I do believe that’s an issue that needs to be discussed and shouldn’t be downplayed. I’ve seen marriages hurt over this behavior…which can develop into a habit.
