Dear Avri:

You wrote that your family formed their opinion of your boyfriend, that he is a bad person, based on one argument you had with your boyfriend, and that they don’t know the full story regarding that argument. Question is: what was that argument?

If the argument, for example, was about what movie to watch one evening: a sci fi or drama, and included angry voices but not too loud and no violence, then I would think your parents are unreasonable. But if the argument included a public scene where he screamed at you and called you terrible names, maybe your parents have a point. I don’t know.

Would you like to share about that argument, at least the part that your family is aware of?
