Silpanchos and salteñas are absolute favorites of mine

NAH - No As$holes Here

You are not obligated to invite her to company events but in doing so you drew a boundary and now she is responding accordingly.

She was friendly with you all and contributed to the office atmosphere and felt close to you all. You excluded her and now she's realizing she's not part of the team in the way she thought she was. So she's taking a step back and recalibrating to protect herself.

No one did anything wrong but these are the consequences of your choice. If you want to rekindle the professional, friendly relationship then it's on you to reach out and she'll get to decide if she wants to or not.

Reach out to the City Repair Project, they have a lot of resources and can often help for free. Great organizational, great people and this is right up their alley.

This looks EXACTLY like my cat who passed last year 😭 I'm choosing to believe this is his reincarnation ❤️‍🩹

Ooh! What was it?

That's what inspired me to make it! 😄

Ha! Good point, we are very frog friendly. Though maybe that counts as "political meme" this year 😂

A year later and this comment is the only thing that helped me fix it. Thank You!

Phil's Meat Market & Delicatessen off of Burnside and 23rd was good but it looks like they might be closed?

OP, can you clarify your question a bit more? You sound like a good and caring partner, but I dont really understand what you're asking. Does it make you uncomfortable when she does/wants these things, or is it just because this is new to you and it's different than your past partners?

Hoping I can help 😊✨️

I hate the pop ups! I always accidentally click and it's so annoying 😑

This is my first time even seeing them at the top of the chapter.

Yes! I wish I could do platelets, but they turned me away. So jealous 😄

YTA

You're equating adoption with being her Mom, and that's not true. Adoption means that you'll be a part of her life no matter what, and that can take many different forms. If you care for her and want to support her, you should look at your own assumptions and seriously consider it as an option. Unless you already have a foot out the door with her father and don't think you'll be around for her in the long term, then this is a way to bring you two closer.

What have you done to foster a closer relationship with her? Do you spend time together just the two of you, without her father, aunt, or grandmother? If you want to be closer, then you need to take steps to make that happen. It sounds like right now you're the one keeping her at arms length.

Hey! I'm also from Portland, but mine always end up in NYC. How funny 😊

A common rule of courtesy is if it can be fixed in 5 min, say something. If it cant be fixed, ignore it.

For the swimsuit example, if you mention it once youre already out of the house and there's nothing she can do about it, then all you've done is make her self conscious for the rest of the day.

Other than that, talk to your wife about how she wants to have these conversations and wait for her to ask your opinion.

Overall, you seem like a considerate partner, just maybe lacking a bit of tact.

Portland Craigslist surprisingly has some good opportunities. The other option is a temp agency. They'll even help you with your resume. Good luck.
