Dear Rhonda:

You shared that before you met your boyfriend, you were a single mother living on your own, having your “own place, own car and a good job“. Fast forward, you are now pregnant with your boyfriend’s child and you have no family. Your boyfriend “used drugs back in his past and used people (men and women) through sexual favors to get rides and money“, but since you met him, “he completely changed into a hard working family man“, and the two of you spend a lot of time together. The problem you have is that he has a “super close” friend who is gay: the two of them were on the road together and currently, “they tell each other they love each other every single time they talk… (your) boyfriend playfully slapped his gay friend’s butt or flirtatiously poked at him“, and the two gaze into each other’s eyes for long periods of time.

This friend (73) is 2-years shorter than being half a century older  than your boyfriend (25).

I am wondering, Rhonda: was the age difference between the two ever been discussed… is your boyfriend looking up to this dude as a .. combination of a father figure and a romantic interest of sorts?
