Long story short, my step-cousin's boyfriend is a known drug dealer. I'm not talking maybe just some weed, he deals the hard stuff. Pleeeeease tell me this is somebody that I can exempt from the SO etiquette rule?
My youngest brother has substance abuse problems to put it lightly and I guess you could say we're currently in the midst of him hitting rock-bottom and forcing him to rehab. I've budgeted for everybody that is single right now to have an SO included, so it's not budgetary or me trying to keep the numbers down. The thought of having her boyfriend there just makes me extremely uncomfortable and worried for my brother and his struggles and ideally sobriety if we get to that point.
I would really appreciate some guidance. They weren't publicly together when I sent invites out (I wasn't aware she was dating anyone and we're not close), so I don't even know if she'll actually come or if she'll ask if he can come, but I would just really like to be prepared. Or maybe you guys can put me in my place and smarten me up.
Aaand it ended up being a long story... sorry!
