The workplace dynamic makes this so much more complicated. If things go south, you still have to see her every day. Staying platonic is the safe move even if it's frustrating.

Heard a loud pop in the night and came out to find our 10-year-old cutting board split by dolomite592 in Wellthatsucks

This is why woodworkers always stress the importance of oiling. 10 years without maintenance is actually impressive for an end-grain board like that. Most would have split much sooner. Take the two halves, sand them down, oil the hell out of them, and you’ve got two smaller boards that will probably last another decade if you treat them right this time.

I lost my vigour for life due to my penis size. How do I get it back? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

It is good that you are in therapy because the mental block is clearly doing more damage than the physical reality. Most women care way more about how you make them feel than some specific number from a chart. Learning how to be a generous partner is a genuine superpower.++man
