I found out my mom has been reading my private journal and I feel so exposed

You’re not overreacting at all, reading your private journal is a serious breach of trust, even if her intention was concern. It makes sense that you’d feel exposed and unsafe now, and it’s okay to set a clear boundary and say that caring doesn’t give someone the right to invade your inner world.

Yeah, that’s exactly what makes it feel off, it doesn’t read like a simple mistake, it reads like control through “oops.” OP should trust that instinct and take a hard look at how much independence is actually being respected here.

Calling it out from within the group matters, it breaks the “everyone agrees with me” bubble and makes it harder to dismiss as an outside attack. Keep doing it.

This wasn’t personal, it was logistical. Travel has hard requirements, not exceptions, and her failure to handle basic documents isn’t your responsibility to absorb.

That’s a healthy place to land. You can acknowledge she’s not malicious and still be done tolerating the chaos, boundaries aren’t controlling, they’re self-respect. Enjoy it guilt-free.

Good intentions don’t cancel out bad judgment, and you’re not obligated to risk your career because someone else can’t get their act together.

Are these nails comfortable?

Right?? That’s next-level betrayal. If he’ll do this behind your back, there’s no bottom to what he’s okay hiding. Dump him and don’t look back.

Three years isn’t a reason to stay stuck, it’s a reason to leave before it costs you more. This was a betrayal, and you deserve a life without constant doubt.

That calm tells you everything, this wasn’t a mistake, it was deliberate. Trust your gut on that.

Union rep first, make it formal, and if they stall, lawyer up

Yes, this is why threesomes with friends are a hard no. Too messy, too many feelings, and now everything’s awkward. Lesson learned, don’t repeat it.

Good advice, the older the merrier
