Outrageous comments from best friend:s DP

I'm shocked and don't know what to say.
My friend of thirty plus years moved in with a new partner last year.
She had few options due to three divorces and very few savings.
I've met the chap once, he seemed OK but over handy for my liking. Both her adult daughters have said they don't like him. I thought it was an age and class thing (he's 27 years younger).
It turns out he is an admirer of Hitler and Trump.
I said to my friend well he won't be invited to dinner here. He apparently made the statements at a family party last week. The daughters quite rightly walked out. I'm disabled, my husband not white. My uncles POW. I can't believe she's with him. She was very lonely. Aibu to be shocked or none of my business?

Of course he is 🙄

Both. It's none of your business but I don't blame you for being shocked.

She's made her choice, possibly not one she really wanted to make, and now you have to do the same. Decide whether or not you want to see her while she's with him. If she's willing to meet you on her own, perhaps you can make it work. If she insists that he's there too, I'd swerve.

Sorry, I have NO idea where the dog came from, and if I go into 'edit' it's not there so I can't remove it.

Not the impression I was trying to create.

BlueBatsAndOranges · 06/03/2025 18:58

I quite like the dog

Theunamedcat · 06/03/2025 19:00

The dog can stay 😂

BruceAndNosh · 06/03/2025 19:00

We need more driving dog photos

I would be shocked of a friend of mine was a partner of someone who liked Hitler to the point they would no longer be my friend.

It's nonsense that she doesn't have other option just because of prior divorces. One option is to bin off a relationship with an alt-right supporter.

Love the dog.

The dog is showing OP the way.

Dog driving is actually believeable

Another vote for the dog

3 divorces and shacked up with a bloke young enough to be her son - is your mate Sharon from Eastenders?

Lucelady · 06/03/2025 19:13

Dog is super cute. I personally prefer the dog to most men but that's just me.

She's a great friend but doesn't like to be without a boyfriend. I hadn't seen her for weeks and now wonder if he's influencing her re our friendship.

In what way are Zelenskyy and Hitler alike??

Lucelady · 06/03/2025 19:16

@TwistedWonder no not Sharon. Far from it. Rich family. Early retired but skint.

I’m glad it’s not just me! What a bizarre thing to say!

OhCalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 06/03/2025 19:22

Well I can’t help you but like the dog to so it’s woof from me.

Less Trump more dogs

Few options?! Can she not support herself? Sounds like she is living in the 1950s.
