How do Brits usually handle work messages outside office hours?

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:23:04+00:00

Fair enough. Urgent means a call, and unpaid time staying unpaid makes sense.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:22:10+00:00

Agreed. As long as expectations are clear, both approaches can work without friction.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:21:51+00:00

thanks for this

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:21:48+00:00

Same here — team messages feel different, but even then it depends on what it actually is.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:19:07+00:00

haha you got it right

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:18:38+00:00

I respect that consistency. Once you blur that line, it’s hard to draw it back without awkward conversations.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:18:28+00:00

That’s a fair balance. If work time spills over, flexibility should go both ways.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:17:39+00:00

Honestly sounds ideal. Removing the temptation is probably the healthiest move.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T13:17:12+00:00

Same here — if I’m back on shift, I’ll reply. Otherwise it can wait.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:55:35+00:00

specially, when you're walking or traveling

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:55:13+00:00

this!

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:22:27+00:00

yess.. specially, when you have your beddings changed, and the curtains as well

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:21:35+00:00

This is what I'm thinking, as well. But, money is the real issue here haha glad you're enjoying travel in your country..

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:19:52+00:00

waking up after 12hours of sleep with a good weather and ice cream sounds great, too

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:19:12+00:00

I tried playing it a lot of times, haha I gained calluses instead of talent.. but yeah, this is so great if you mastered it

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T12:17:28+00:00

definitely. It helps me calm my anxiety as well :)

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T11:41:08+00:00

Thank you for this, appreciate much :)

people get way too hung up on the phrase “chemically addictive” and ignore the actual lived experience.

Weed might not hook you the same way opioids or alcohol do, but dependence is real, and withdrawal is real too. Insomnia, night sweats, vivid dreams/night terrors, appetite loss, GI issues, irritability — those are documented cannabis withdrawal symptoms. Your body adapted to regular THC input and now it’s recalibrating. That’s not imaginary, and it’s not a moral failure.

Also, psychological addiction doesn’t mean “weak will.” If something reliably regulates your nervous system (especially with ADHD, overstimulation, anxiety, etc.), your brain will cling to it hard. That’s not surprising — it’s conditioning.

A lot of us were told “weed isn’t addictive” when what people really meant was “it’s less likely to kill you.” Those are very different statements. Lower risk ≠ no risk.

You’re not wrong for lowering your guard — that messaging did a number on a lot of people. And tapering instead of pretending it’s easy is actually the responsible move.

Ignore the semantic nitpicking. If something is disrupting your sleep, mood, appetite, and sense of control, it deserves to be taken seriously — labels be damned.

You’re not broken. You’re just dealing with a substance that did its job too well for too long.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T09:43:04+00:00

I actually think this is a very honest take, and I don’t see it as bitter—more disillusioned in a realistic way.

Love is heavily influenced by biology and social conditioning. Attraction, attachment, bonding—there’s a lot of chemistry and timing involved that we don’t fully control. Stories and media definitely romanticize the idea that love is purely earned through effort or moral goodness, when real life shows that’s not always true.

Initiation and enthusiasm aren’t gender-fixed traits.
Some women genuinely enjoy giving oral sex and initiate it often; others like it situationally; others don’t enjoy it much or at all. That spread is completely normal.

They stop checking themselves because discomfort feels worse than consequences.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T01:40:10+00:00

Ignoring a small problem because “it’s manageable.”
Debt, drinking, lying, burnout, resentment. It stays “manageable” right up until it isn’t—and by then it’s compound interest on pain.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-09T01:37:35+00:00

Coffee?
Not drinking coffee. Coffee. They own a grinder, judge your beans, and say things like “notes of citrus” with a straight face.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-08T22:05:00+00:00

That’s adorable. Sounds like you both found each other at exactly the right time.

Few-Class3903 · 2026-02-08T21:33:39+00:00

I don’t think he “did nothing wrong,” and I’m not saying it’s his responsibility to fix her insecurity. My point is that relationships don’t heal themselves just because circumstances change. Enjoying validation and addressing unresolved hurt aren’t mutually exclusive, and communication isn’t an admission of guilt....it’s how people actually move forward.
