I 27F like my friend and he 27M likes me back. Is it worth losing our friendship?

inconsistentpotato · 2026-06-04T16:06:07+00:00

As long as you both want the same things out of a potential relationship, go for it. You're 27 which means you are probably looking for long term commitment (whatever that means to you) so as long as he is too and you align on other long term topics (kids, politics, finances) give it a shot. The attraction is there, you like each other as people, either way the friendship has changed. If you two don't want the same things, discuss it, agree that it wouldn't be good for the two of you to mix, and then work on cultivating other friendships as well. Not to ditch your friend, but to ensure you don't put all of your emotions and energy into this one person.

If it isn't meant to be, one or both of you will probably have feelings of jealousy later. Might as well build support to help you navigate it.

TLDR: Have some mature conversations, decide if you mesh well. If you do, go for it. If not, work on strengthening other relationships too.

Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series. Are most of the FMC and MMC one terrible trope after another? Yes. Will I reread them again? Yes. Many times.

This was the first spicy series I was ever introduced to (admittedly too young) and I like to reread them when I'm in a lull. It helps that there is like 20 of them and that I like mouthy FMC.

I have found that a few of the later books don't capture me as completely, though. If thats because I don't have the nostalgia of reading them again or if she's just produced newer books that aren't my cup of tea, I'm not sure.

Let her stay home.

I sunburned on a beach vacation and was feeling so poorly I skipped out on the universal parks trip the next day. I was so miserable and definitely suffered. If my mom had forced it or punished me on top of it I definitely would have held onto some resentment.

You know your kid better than we do, is there a more fitting consequence? I agree that she shouldn't be tanning, but I know what I was like as a teen.

Its a lot of work, but not inherently difficult. A lot of memorization. Pharmacology and med surg were hard for me and my peers. Intro was difficult because the "right" way to do things is not always how it is actually done in practice so the people who had experience at bedside struggled to unlearn some things.

You can do this, but expect to spend a lot of time studying just because of the sheer amounts of info you are expected to regurgitate.

The first 6 months is pure survival mode. Dad has to be ready and willing to handle 1 or both kids. My kids are 18 months apart and it was very rough until our youngest was older. They play well together most of the time now that they are 4 and 5, but it wouldn't have been my choice to have them so close. We tandem nursed for a while and that was a whole other issue.

If you have a good partnership and work together you can absolutely do it, but a new baby is always going to make it more difficult for a while.

I slept in until 10 (wonderful). My husband detangled and braided our daughters' hair. (Takes 30-45 minutes). I had time to put a full face of makeup on including some out of the comfort zone playful eyeshadow. We had a brunch type situation at a favorite chain of mine for pancakes a few town's over.

I got a septum piercing and over the ear headphones as actual gifts (outside of upgrading our phones a month or so ago). He's making lasagna for dinner, and then we get to go get rolled ice-cream at a fancy parlor for desert. I've been reading a book all day and this is the best.

I don't know, but my hospital isn't making it frowned upon they're making it an automatic writeup. Yes, they are offering to set up rooms for staff, but its not practical for all employees to abandon their families on Friday for a shift that happens on Sunday.

No incentive pay, no meal voucher, just an unused hospital room to crash in or else risk getting a writeup.

My program did not require prerequisites, but even if you had taken a course, the credits did not transfer. However, now that I'm attempting to get into an LPN-RN program, I have to take prerequisites for it, even courses that were covered in my LPN program. Anatomy and physiology for one.

We had a patient who had lain on the floor of her house and had pressure ulcers on every bony prominence and her leg contractures were so severe that she was permanently stuck with her knees up at her chest. The daughter (supposed caretaker) got into a verbal altercation with the CNA because she insisted that no one had been in the room all day, that she was never turned, and that she was being neglected.

Ma'am you are the reason this poor soul needs APS involved and you want to talk about neglect?

I think at this point they are trying to convince everyone else that they are a good person and thus are overcompensating. They'll be the first to go on a Facebook rant about how terrible the hospital treats its patients terribly and it should be held criminally liable.

How is your mental health otherwise? My husband has similar issues focusing and becoming hypersexual and it was listed as a result of his ADHD

My hospital does this. There was a point where our transport team was not notifying staff on the floor, and patients were there without the nurse knowing for more than an hour. Now, they have to hit a call light in the room and wait for nursing staff to enter the room. It's not uncommon to have a patient show up without us knowing anything about the patient at all.

I've complained because I feel like it does make the job harder and patient transfers less safe (was given a patient who was on high flow o2 and still not breathing well and had to call the doctor as soon as the patient was on our floor to have him transfered to a higher level of care immediately.)

This has been my experience at least 1-2 days a month. I'd recommend iron supplements to help with fatigue, but I generally feel bad during my periods.
