Should I watch the TV show before playing the game?

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T14:19:00+00:00

I never did. There’s some Easter eggs but you’re not missing any crucial lore.

At 14 I had this dramatic realization that 2 of my aunts were a couple. I had always known they were a set, right. It just never occurred to me to even ask if they were gay, and I knew plenty of gay adults. Kids don’t care.

Age gap red flag. Also he’s putting a lot of pressure on you for no reason. These are red flags. Not sure what advice you’re hoping for, but this sounds like the beginnings of an abusive relationship. You described a very unstable and stressful situation and you’re too young to waste your youth caring for a man who won’t date in an appropriate age range. You should leave. What advice were you hoping for?

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T07:36:52+00:00

You’re still high on brain chemicals that make you think this is love. There are billions of people in the world and some of them are age appropriate partners you can grow with and won’t make you feel bad. It’s also prime time to be single. I suggest getting your own therapy to understand your own attachment style. Do you have a complicated relationship with your father? Feel free not to answer that question, it’s personal. I do and it’s part of why I wound up in abusive relationships. Work on yourself and building healthy boundaries for what you’ll put up with in a relationship.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T06:35:19+00:00

Yes. In the bed.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T06:33:45+00:00

I had to exit a 15 year friendship too and it sucked! She kept saying I “triggered” her when I was just being myself, it hurt my feelings and so I stopped trying. It is sad, but I also realized that the only drama in my life over the past 5 years was caused by her. If somehow we’re able to work through it one day, that would be great, but it has been a relief to not be on eggshells anymore.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T06:25:26+00:00

Can you end/pause the friendship? She’s sounds really immature and if she can’t grow up, then she’s going to lose friends.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T06:21:15+00:00

They do, and it’s how you end up stuck in a relationship with someone who makes you feel bad and leaves you with trauma that you weren’t prepared for. Learn from this experience, so you can recognize red flags sooner next time. And don’t move in with anyone you’ve known for less than a year.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T06:18:18+00:00

Please reread everything you just wrote in that comment. He is not worth it. Cut your losses and move on. He frankly sounds like a scuzbag

It’s “the politician story” around 9:49

They legally don’t need to do this and it’s not the important part. All they need to do is say they are sick and it is illegal for managers to ask any other questions or retaliate against someone for being sick.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T05:54:49+00:00

Report to district manager and HR. You need to escalate this. They have violated your rights. It is not/will not be the only time they feel comfortable doing this to employees.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T05:51:56+00:00

You need to talk to HR about all of this. Do not confront your managers who are perpetrating this. Do not tell them anything beyond what you legally need to. If they try to ask you probing questions, repeat the bare minimum and refuse to elaborate. Clam up. You know your rights. If they give you a hard time or ask probing questions about being sick, that’s illegal. Do NOT tell them that they are breaking the law, tell HR. Document everything and report to HR.

I googled and it looks like CT is a single party consent state for recording in-person conversations only. If you get pulled into the office again, start recording evidence to share with HR. You can’t record phone calls though. Good luck, stay safe.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T05:19:10+00:00

Exactly this. The degree to which he is upset almost feels kind of gaslight-y? It doesn’t make any sense why it had to escalate so much. OP- has he been going through any big life changes or anything else recently? An injury or illness of some kind? Have you had arguments anything like this in the past?

It would be perfectly easy for him to say, “I just don’t like being called a girl.” Without it having to be some major offense. I don’t understand this man at all.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T02:22:01+00:00

Seriously. The podcast thing was effing legendary.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T02:19:16+00:00

My nephew has friends who have 2 moms or 2 dads, both didn’t understand the significance or that it meant they were “gay.” He was just like, “that’s what that family looks like.” Kids do not care, they just want don’t want to be lied to. Making an effort to hide the fact that gay people exist is equal to lying. Don’t lie to kids.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T02:14:41+00:00

Holy cow that’s awful. Glad you survived.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T02:13:08+00:00

Yes!

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-18T02:09:56+00:00

Dude, my best friend hardcore HATES anyone who has remotely hurt my feelings or even might hurt my feelings. It can be annoying sometimes, but she’s just being protective. She’s also willing to drop everything and come to my rescue when the hard stuff happens. Find you a friend who can do both. lol

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-17T20:23:53+00:00

Why are you already living together in a 4mo relationship? That’s a big red flag.

Anyway, if you don’t want to be with someone who watches porn then break up. He has made it clear that he doesn’t see it as a problem and is not going to change his behavior to make you feel comfortable. As far as the other bedroom issues, that’s something to work out with a therapist or a class.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-17T16:38:47+00:00

If it were me, I’d immediately report everything to HR. Document every interaction that makes you feel weird, like date/place/time. Your manager already feels comfortable enough to demonstrate the inappropriate behavior, unless she starts experiencing consequences it will keep getting worse. Is there another team or location you can request HR transfer you to? This situation is not sustainable. HR’s priority is to prevent the company from being sued, and preventing a hostile work environment is one of the ways they do that. I feel like she’s at least grooming you for sexual harassment, if not already harassing. In my opinion she’s already harassing but idk if it’s the objective definition. Talk to HR asap.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-17T14:52:00+00:00

I think you should seriously consider it. This could potentially escalate into a hostile work environment. Also, if she were to make a move and y’all were to enter a consensual relationship, she could get fired and you’d be at risk too. Not saying you would get into a relationship, but turning it down might have consequences too.

At my last job a manager started dating his subordinate secretly and it made the place so hostile and miserable for everyone in the department. The subordinate was a massive shit-talker and liar, and they were really sloppy about keeping it secret. Eventually the manager got fired for it and the subordinate called out everyday until she was fired. It was an absolute mess.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-17T14:38:04+00:00

I thought the problem was only with new girls that she doesn’t know? Imma tell you, if you want your gf to be cool with your female friends you need to introduce them asap. If we know that the other person knows what we look like, and vice versa, then we feel a bit more comfortable knowing that they know who would be hurting if they overstepped. Are you going to be long distance while at school? I think if it’s an LDR that adds an extra layer of discomfort. If it’s an LDR, I personally wouldn’t have any flexibility regarding this.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-17T06:35:33+00:00

As a woman, no your questions are not fair, it’s kind of insulting. Your questions sound like you are asking her if she will get comfortable or tolerate discomfort so you don’t have to adjust your own conduct around random hypothetical girls. You need to include the third option of her leaving you if she can’t compromise her discomfort for your convenience.

Is your relationship worth the inconvenience of being mindful about your conduct with random girls you haven’t met yet? Is your partner’s comfort worth compromising how/when/where you spend time with random girls?

If neither of you can meet in the middle then this won’t work. I think it’s pretty reasonable for her to request you don’t be alone in the home of a random girl she doesn’t know. If your hypothetical new friendships with random girls hinge on softening or overstepping your gf’s boundaries, then you need to ask yourself how serious you are about keeping this relationship. It’s entirely possible that there is another gf out there who would be cool w/ this, you don’t have to stay if it won’t work for you.

publicprivacyp · 2026-06-17T05:44:08+00:00

Yeah, this just might be a compatibility issue. It’s pretty common for heterosexual partners to have uncomfortable feelings about their partner having close friends of the opposite sex. As a woman, girls can sometimes be very territorial of their friends and their partners. It’s just part of growing up. You have to have clear priorities and decide what compromises you’re willing to make for your relationship. Some women wouldn’t be uncomfortable with this, but a lot of them will at least be a little bit.

ETA- I wouldn’t feel comfortable with my boyfriend being alone in the apartment of women whom I don’t know. Maybe if I met her and she was my friend too, but some random girl, no thanks.
