You're the Expert: How do I tell him, his friends suck?

Dear Nandoism Readers,

Oscar and I have been dating for 6 months and his friends are total jerks. We don’t always hang out with them but on the rare occasion that we do, they make me feel uncomfortable and the worst part is that he never says anything to them. Should he stand up for me when he sees they’ve made me feel uncomfortable with their remarks or rude comments? He just smiles or appropriately “exits” the room.

If I tell him that I don’t like his friends, will that put “us” in a bad place?

You know that expression, “Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are?” Well, with him, it doesn’t ring true. He’s opposite in approach. I really don’t understand why they’re friends. I think it’s because they all moved from their hometown and now all live in New York. Should that geographic move creare a bond for life?

My friends tell me I should speak up because 6 months is a good marker-point in a relationship.
