A man is expressing concern about his long-distance boyfriend's close relationship with a married woman who is also his boss. The boyfriend has been in a relationship with the man for one year, but he maintains a strong friendship with this woman, which the man finds troubling.

The boyfriend's friend is described as a tobacco-addicted narcissist who drinks heavily. They communicate frequently, chatting and texting for hours each day. The boyfriend claims that she cannot be alone, leading the man to believe she relies on him to fill emotional gaps in her life. He worries that she may be a negative influence on his boyfriend.

Due to the physical distance between them, the couple can only meet every other week for a short time. During a recent visit, the boyfriend's friend invited them to spend an evening together, but the man declined, stating he wants to protect their time together. He feels uncomfortable with the closeness of their relationship, which he describes as almost a pseudo-romance.

Despite his feelings, the man struggles to communicate his concerns to his boyfriend, who defends his friendship with the woman. "When he mentions her name, I physically cringe," he said, expressing frustration over feeling like a third wheel in their relationship.

In a separate letter, another individual shared concerns about a dog named Butch, who has a history of biting. The dog was previously owned by the writer's ex-partner, who has since given Butch to his niece without disclosing the dog's biting history. The writer fears for the safety of the niece's children and is considering reaching out to warn her about the potential danger.

The advice given to the writer is to contact the niece immediately and inform her of the risks associated with Butch. If necessary, they could provide the housekeeper's account of the incident to support their claims.
