Stumbled upon this Dear Prudence question on Slate.com. Personally, I think the boyfriend should get thrown in the bushes, but Emily Yoffe (Prudence) seems to disagree.
Ladies what would you do if you were in this situation? Fellas what would you have done? Whether or not the girl is a PAWG doesn't matter either. Don't be koons
Question:
Dear Prudence,
My boyfriend and I have been dating for six months but have known each other for more than two years. I am black and he is white. This has never been a problem and our parents, families, and friends are fully supportive of our relationship. Amazingly, we have had precious few arguments or problems. Until now. In a moment of extreme frustration, my boyfriend used the "N-word" in reference to one of my friends. We were alone so no one else heard the comment. I was stunned, shocked, and appalled. I immediately left the room because I was so disturbed. It is a word that neither I nor my family or friends use in any sort of context because I have been raised to view it as incredibly offensive. He came to me and apologized profusely and had tears in his eyes while doing so. I accepted his apology because it was completely out of character for him, but I am now questioning our relationship. What do you think?
Unspeakable
