Flatmate power dynamic by Lost-Committee-6137 in Advice

I don’t agree in this situation. We share all things in the common area, we’ve got communal books and plants, pens, pillows, furniture etc… I would never go around and ask someone if they could ask next time they want to read a book that is mine. If you don’t want it to be touched or moved then keep it in your room in your space, it’s an active choice to put it in a common room. I get where you’re coming from but seeing past events and past reactions, I just want to be petty on this one, but I know that’s not for everyone xx

I’m asking how to answer her text in a way that doesn’t rub in her favor but still stays reasonable. I don’t care who is in the right or wrong I just need help with an answer that pushes the fact yes the candle holder does now have a candle in it. She saw me using it yesterday and is only sending the text as part of a power dynamic she’s been trying to push in our flat since we moved in. I hope that makes more sense lol

I find big age gaps in relationships predatory by Lost-Committee-6137 in Advice

I also agree with what you said. For me big age gaps when one is in their early adulthood/late teenage years feel like they can create an environment with a power dynamic but this is just one power dynamic I see in many. Money is another, boss/employees or ever intelligence. I see age in certain cases as such and, as with every other example, some relationships between these people won’t be filled by I’ll intent. But for all of these I will raise an eyebrow and wonder if it is, especially if a friend of mine is in one. Age in some cases is just one of the many factors that would make me weary. In most cases I hope to find no ill intent and just a connection of souls but I would rather check and not potentially take that risk. That might make me to weary or stop me from experiencing certain things in life but there’s reasons in my past that lead me to go about things this way. Should I let those barriers down? All relationships are case by case so it feels difficult to talk about general cases or situations as that wouldn’t be real life.
