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?

@Gymnopedie haha that made me laugh and look what you have done lol turned what was gonna be an unpleasant post and people arguing into a lovely one with lots of dogs hahaha.
Gonna start carrying round photos of dogs and just hold them up when people are being dicks

I think we should post pictures of dogs whenever the next Trump/Putin/Zelensky/WW3/We’re all gonna die thread is posted 🐕

Does he admire Andrew Tate?

Plot twist - he IS Andrew Tate.

Dog jokes aside, I couldn't be mates with someone thick enough to be in a relationship with someone who 'likes Hitler'.

But i I don’t even understand how that would come up in conversation? Trump, yes, because he’s in the news a lot atm, but how would it come up in conversation that you ‘liked’ Hitler?

Interesting
This same gif appeared for no reason on another thread when, I think, Mrs Bennett’snerves posted something. Have you both been hacked.
Id ask MNHQ
Iv3 only been on a few threads today and this image has appeared on both, so something is wrong

Yes, that was me! Same dog!😂

I say we vote this thread to be the best in the history of MN. I have been going through a lot lately and been feeling really down. This thread made my day. I am sorry OP, I know that this is serious topic that turned out to be entertaining, but I think that is great. Thank you all.🤣

@GeorgiesCat she's very sex driven. He's the Don apparently.

She met him on a website.

What was the Hitler loving, Trump supporting, Mafia Don dating site? Sounds fun.

LucastaNoir · 06/03/2025 20:09

This whole post is really weird:

What do you mean, she had ‘few options’ - what exactly are you judging she had few options for?

You’ve met this guy once - have you spoken to your friend about him?

I like the dog.

Peas in a fucking pod. Trump & Hitler, I mean.
i have only utter admiration for Zelenskyy

I never understand why people would rather be with someone like this, rather than just be single.

I would rather be single than settle for this.

I fell out with my friend who got into a relationship with a man who she knew was racist because being in a relationship with someone racist, makes you racist yourself.

She obviously has form for choosing the wrong men but that is her issue.
I would back off from the relationship and tell her why.

Unfortunately men like this like the attention and they will openly speak about it to get the attention.
So avoiding conversations around politics etc isn’t going to work.

BlueBatsAndOranges · 06/03/2025 19:39

Oh that’s weird. Especially after the recent dodgy images appearing on here.

I'm pretty sure we must both have accidentally clicked on the "add gif" button and selected the bloody dog! Don't think it's anything sinister!

Busbygirl · 06/03/2025 20:11

The dog is much more believable than the rest of your post.

Oh I think I have used that one!!

Lucelady · 06/03/2025 20:15

@livelovelough24 no probs. I just had my jaw on my chest but as I don't drink I didn't go into a rave. Others did apparently.
I work for a jew, my husband is black and I'm disabled. We would have been rounded up and gassed. He must be pretty thick if he didn't know this. My lady bits would have healed over when he said this. It was my friends War baby mother's birthday. So a real WTF moment.
I thought a bit iffy, but I am quite good at male scumbags.

Trump is not anywhere near in the same league as Hitler and those who say he is just make themselves look silly.

Brainwashed much? Get off Twitter & read a book
