Tough Talk: August 29, 2023

Tough Talk,

My boyfriend and I have been invited to a surprise birthday party for a good friend of ours.  There are rumors that her boyfriend will pop the question.  We’ve been asked not to say anything so as not to ruin the surprise.  The thing is, she really doesn’t like the guy.  He smells, is rude to people and just gets off on bragging about himself.  What do you think I should do TT? (Raintree, Colorado)

Raintree,

As I see it, you have two options: (1) Blow the surprise and tell her what is going to happen or (2) Sit back, play along and hope your friend rejects him at this “party”.  That will be a delightful outcome to this guy’s plans.  Personally, I’d tell her everything.  What type of friend are you if you don’t?
