Dear Annie: My fiance, “Mark,” and I are getting married in six months, and there’s one issue I can’t shake. His best friend, “Tyler,” makes me uncomfortable. Tyler has a history of cheating, drinking too much, and making offhand comments that cross the line — especially toward women. At Mark’s bachelor party planning dinner, Tyler joked that he was in charge of “making sure Mark has one last wild night,” and when I said I didn’t like the sound of that, he laughed and told me to “relax.”
I’ve told Mark I don’t trust Tyler’s influence. He brushed it off, saying Tyler’s “an idiot but he’s harmless” and that he would never actually do anything to mess up our relationship. Still, I can’t help but feel uneasy. It’s like I’m expected to ignore my instincts to keep the peace.
I’m not asking Ma
