The fact that she isn’t telling her non-romantic male friend about you is very concerning to me, honestly. I understand wanting privacy but honestly, there is a bit of a concerning trend with her it seems. Talking to her is the absolute best thing to do though, so it sounds like you’re on the right track.

Wishing you the best with all this.

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with them being alone together, however if you aren’t comfortable with it and you tell her that, she has a choice to make. Setting acceptable boundaries is a fundamental part of any relationship.

It would be understandable if she said “No, we’re still going to hang out. We’re just friends.”

It would also be understandable if she chose to cancel or to invite you along, as a way to respect your boundaries.

You aren’t wrong for setting boundaries and she isn’t wrong for wanting to hang out with him, assuming she has no intentions of being intimate with him.

Communication is the most important part of all this, though. And communication has to go both ways.

It sounds like her parents aren’t home when she stays there. OP said she cat sits for them, if I understood correctly. So they could very well have the entire home alone. Could still be harmless but definitely different than if mom and dad were in the other room.

Because both companies remembered their common ground

I am in therapy? This isn’t the burn you thought it was. You can talk to your friends and a professional counselor. What a weird reply.

On second thought, my recommendation is therapy

Sounds like you need new boys. If you tell your friends you’re feeling that low and they withdraw from you because it makes them feel icky, they aren’t your friends. They’re self centered pricks who aren’t worth investing your time or feeling into.

I feel that, man. I’ve tried being open with friends and it just didn’t seem like it mattered much to them. I don’t have many close friends, almost none to be honest. But I have my wife and no matter what I always know she’s there for me, unfailingly.

Sometimes just talking things out is meaningful on its own.

Does your fetish extend to pickles as well or in something vital lost in the pickling process?

What if shirt guys anxiety was telling him that people are taking photos of him without his consent behind his back though

She held the encrypted passkey to my heart

Ask for help. Be vulnerable with the boys.

Hobbit feets:

Sounds like you’re finally able to live your true self, freely without having to put on this massive fake identity. I often think about the way we all wear a mask around others, even those close to us. Sometimes it’s just a small thing but having to pretend that what’s inside of you isn’t completely the opposite of how you’re perceived and expected to behave is just deeply unfair and I have such admiration for trans people who are able to shed that mask and live and love freely.

Ah yeah, okay. That makes sense. I wasn’t sure if it was that or like parental restrictions or something. Hope you’re playing some great games ☺️

Feels very representative of this music to me. Technically profound, meticulously crafted, but completely devoid of heart and soul. There’s no emotion or story, it’s just complex for the sake of being complex.

I’m curious, why couldn’t you buy certain video games before? Genuinely asking but totally understand if you’re not comfortable talking about it. Happy for you regardless!
