This is a hypothetical question based off of something my friend did.
My friend has a AWFUL verbally abusive boyfriend who has also lashed out on me before. (His behavior and her choice to stay with him aren’t in question though.) Anyway over the summer my friend told her boyfriend’s brother to friend me because she thought we would get along and she admitted that she thought we would be cute together. I am not considering this venture, mainly because I don’t know him at all.
Which got me thinking, I don’t think I would be able to date a guy who’s brother I think is absolute scum, and believe my friend should get a restraining order from. Or would I be punishing the wrong person? Would it be justifying his brother’s insane actions to date him? Would it be narrow minded to assume that this behavior runs in the family?
What are your thoughts?
