Boundaries or Overreaction? 🤷♂️
So, our concerned co-worker finally confronts Tiffany about the growing relationship between her, her child, and his partner. He believes that boundaries are important and that his partner shouldn't be taking the place of the child's father in their life. However, his partner disagrees, saying that the child could only benefit from having a good male role model. He even apologizes to Tiffany for the confrontation. Was our co-worker right to bring up the issue, or was he just overreacting? 🧐💭 Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation...
