Some felt that they wouldn’t choose someone like that as a partner in the first place and stated that if a person continues to be friends with misogynistic, bigoted, or other people with extreme views, that person is supporting the same ideas.

Another said that your friends and your partners are reflections of you as a person. A third commenter quoted a saying from Germany, “If you have a Nazi at the table and ten people talking to him, you have a table of eleven Nazis.”

Unfortunately, you can’t always tell if someone has these kinds of friends when you first meet them. Quite a few users learned the hard way that their partners would conceal information from them to keep their love.

It was a sad realization for one woman who said she had left her ex-boyfriend for this reason. After spending time at college, she found she couldn’t ignore the red flags that his friendships represented.

Even people who are just friends are less tolerant of this issue. This respondent said, “Hard boundary. The longer I live, the less patience I have for people who “he/she’s just like that.” I have ended friendships for this, and I will again.”
