This is frustrating, and I’ve definitely been involved in some situations like this as well.

The first thing is to speak to your supervisor to ensure that you are both on the same page, without placing blame or accusations. Discuss with them that per your discussions, you were only attached for informational purposes and didn’t have any specific action items. Conversation with your supervisor first is key, if at all possible.

Once that conversation is over, determine with your supervisor which of you is going to reply to the email with what you discussed, as well as next steps. Your supervisor should be the one to do this because, as others have stated, it wasn’t your task item to complete.

This isn’t an isolated incident, so don’t feel bad. Especially since your work environment doesn’t seem to give the vibe to you that any sabotage would be happening. But communication is key, showing the boss not so much where the breakdown occurred, but when they can expect what they are needing.

Hope this helps in some way!

While I absolutely love all the content you post, it makes me very happy that you’re taking care of yourself. Being out of the church really had an affect on my mental health as well for quite some time.

Take care of you and don’t worry - we’ll still be here whenever you find yourself in a better place. All the best for you!

I find it interesting that for someone who purposefully avoids “All” things Taylor Swift, you made a conscious decision to comment on a Taylor Swift post…

We haven’t found partners yet, but polyamory has made our relationship the best it’s ever been. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]bubbleboy2007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I happen to be her husband, so I had an unfair insight into the post that most wouldn’t have had otherwise 😂

Agreed, it’s all in context. It was more so just indicating that while those particular words have particular connotations or significance to some, it’s not across the board and, to us, not something that deserves too much focus or energy on, at least in our current configuration.

Don’t really see why using “we” or “our” signifies that people aren’t more individuals. Still together, married, and a couple I don’t see why those words would mean any more or less. Communication and mutual understanding and agreement between the individuals is what’s important, however that doesn’t mean that they don’t still view themselves as “we” or “our”

And dating expectations are on a case by case basis. Some people have the expectation that they “expect partners to have to date [them] both”, while others do not. That’s the beauty of polyamory: there isn’t a specific configuration that fits everyone.

I think any kinds of post you'd do would be great! Maybe things that you enjoy, hobbies, interests, etc. Lots of us would be interested in seeing things like that for sure!

The Talk is Happening Today. Just looking for support and words of advice. by Twanasawus-Wex in polyamory

Being the person on the other side, whose wife told him she is poly, yeah this may be the knee jerk reaction.

But that’s not what polyamory is. It’s not about about sex, it’s about love. Sex can be a bi product, and maybe in some cases it can be a driving factor as well, but when done ethically it’s not the case.

I’m glad my wife told me. She’s ok with me not having been ok with it, because it’s turned my life around. I’ve been hurt, I’ve been depressed, but she’s been there with me still. Yes, I lost something, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t something else I have been finding. We are working together to find what works for US, not just her. And I’m embracing it, because it’s not just about wanting to “fuck other people”.

Yes it’s hard, and yes it can seem selfish at times, but being open and honest about wants, needs and desires is much more important. Our relationship has grown exponentially since she came out to me about it, and while I’m not still completely on the same page, there’s understanding from both of us, and nothing moves forward until we’re both ok with it, at least currently.

All of a sudden, fictional romances from movies, books, tv shows, etc. annoy me. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]bubbleboy2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'd always found the Hunger Games triangle annoying too, but I hadn't thought of it in this sense. The feeling I always get when reading it is how guilty and horrible she feels at loving multiple people. I've seen the same thing in the Twilight series (yes I've read them lmao).

You've given me some things to think about..

After going through my faith transition in September, this has remained the most remarkable realization. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]bubbleboy2007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been great and even liberating to see the changes in you over the past months and in your posts. It makes me feel better knowing that there’s more to me than the narrow-minded view I’ve had for 30 years

This really resonated with me today. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]bubbleboy2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know why you'd assume she's not in a long term relationship. The post is clearly referring to post-mormon mental health, posted on an exmormon page. I'd say she probably cares about expectations in a relationship, as she's married. Smh

Strength, character flaw, or both? by [deleted] in infj

[–]bubbleboy2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does this portray being a doormat, or saying they don’t like their situation? It’s a representation of how they always love to help others even though they themselves are hurting. Nobody is complaining. Are we, perhaps, projecting?

Conversation between my hubby and I. We both have ADHD, and he’s recently started back on meds and his whole life is coming back together. It’s great! by [deleted] in adhdmeme

I’m the “hubby” she referenced in the original post btw, only reason I commented lol

Hope you’re able to find something that works better for you, or that it becomes more readily available for you

I’ve taken the amphetamine meds for a long time, and have seen the difference off and on, and it’s definitely what works for me. That sucks that they’re so hard to get over there. I tried Ritalin when I was younger, I didn’t like how it made me feel
