Tough Talk,
My best friend’s sister experienced a tragic loss when her husband was killed in a car crash. We all feel bad, but when it was all said and done, he was a piece of crap who enjoyed starting problems and pointing out people’s faults. He had a real nasty streak and most people did not like him. And that goes for his wife who always stood by him like a complete idiot. Now she is always talking about him like he was a saint and incredibly brilliant. She is still in mourning so I don’t want to hurt her feelings at such a vulnerable time for her TT, but I’m tired of the continual nonsense spilling out of her mouth. What should I do? (Putica, MI)
Puticer,
Mourning or not, you need to sit her down and tell her that her husband was a piece of crap, just like you said and in your own words, and that she is no prized pig herself. Certainly you know of plenty of his faults to bring up and make it crystal clear that your opinions are widely shared and that people really hated that dingleberry. It may be harsh, but wind up by saying everyone is glad he kicked the bucket. He was a real loser. For your sake as well as hers, you don’t have any other choice.
