I guess I am the kind of person who has always believed the best in all people. I have never found anyone to be “bad” before, and I feel torn because I have found a person who I just feel uncomfortable around.
Background: I’m 26, pretty open minded, with an almost 2 year old. One of my closest friends is openly gay and I adore him. I had a gay roommate before I was married. This question has nothing to do with prejudiced in anyway.
My best friend has a new roommate. She has known this person for awhile and trusts them completely, but she also is single with no children.
Her roommate is a 40 year old man who cross-dresses. Before I met him I was thinking how cool. But he isn’t like a normal cross-dresser. He has the hobbies of a little girl. He makes comments about pretty little girl dresses when he passes a cute child. He “rescues” stuffed animals and barbie dolls and stuff. He has more toys then my daughter does. A couple days ago he bought a plush rocking horse and has been riding on it in their living room. He also pet the horse, covered it in kisses, and asked his roommate to paint his toenails to match the horse.
It is always creepy stuff like this. I’ve had a bad feeling about him since the day I met him and I have tried to avoid her house.
Now, maybe I am insane, but to me he seems like a pedophile in the making. Am I reading too much into it?
Would you let your 2 year old be at their house? I don’t know what to say to my friend… I mean, she is my best friend, she is like an aunt to my daughter… but I just don’t feel comfortable over there.
Sorry for the long rant.

Its actually more common of a fetish than most people realize. Since he’s commenting on dresses and toys and not actual little girls, I’d assume this is the case for him. If its not something you’re comfortable with though, then don’t hang around.
Tell your friend that you respect the fact that everyone has their own ways of going about things, but this specific situation just doesn’t settle well with you and you don’t feel comfortable hanging out at the house while he’s there. As a great friend, she should respect and understand that. She can still come to your house and hang out as often as she wants or you can meet at mutual spots….. just not her house while he’s home. No harm, no foul. I know that I wouldn’t feel comfortable with it if I was in your position.

13|Jul|2010 6Having a gay person around your kids is perfectly fine in my book. The cross-dressing-rocking-horse-riding guy sounds like a nut job and if you visit your friend, keep your daughter with you and don’t let her out of your sight! The guy sounds REALLY disturbed. Who knows, maybe he’s really nice and was sexually abused, but then again I don’t know any adults that ride rocking horses….

13|Jul|2010 7Please, trust your gut instincts here. If some feeling you have is telling you that this isn’t feeling right then don’t ignore it. Generally, valid feelings will come before you have a reason which is a source of protection. You may find the reason later.
Just tell your friend you think he’s a nice guy and your sure everything is fine but, that your mom radar is telling you that he might not be completely stable, and you’d be more comfortable being closer to her and a little more distant to him. If she’s a good friend, she’ll understand or learn to get over it if she doesn’t. Some things aren’t worth risking. Good luck.

Without knowing what (if anything) is actually wrong with him, I think ou should avoid singling him out. Perhaps get to know him a bit better first. You don’t necessarily ave to drag your daughter along every-time you go over there. When you do bring her, just supervise her.
