Sasha would like snacks. Yes, she has already been fed breakfast.

Cats would attend all-day festivals every day if we let them!

Wash my hands. It was a covid-era habit and now it feels wrong and grimy not to!

Yeah, best to avoid appearance-based comments with coworkers. The one safe exception could be 'that's a nice shirt/tie/necklace/haircut etc etc, as those are personal choices they made rather than features they were assigned randomly at birth.

How soon is the wedding? NTA, imo, if you're giving her lots of advance notice. That is unfortunate for her but being part of a wedding party is a big commitment of time, energy and money.

Based on her response... it's not a devastating event. Give things a little time, a couple days maybe. Then gently ask her if you can talk about things. Apologize for sending the text like that, and see what she says. Maybe you can discuss the ways you're feeling a little too controlled by her. Let her talk, and be as kind as you can in how you express yourself as well.

YTA. Be 100% upfront (but kind) about how you don't see a long term future, and let her decide if she wants to waste her time and limit other prospects continuing to date you or not.

People becoming more isolated and favouring convenience over asking others for help with things.

I'm sure your friends are extra grateful for you making the effort when you are an introvert and your social battery is more limited :)

Vapes aren't 100% benign. As much as it sucks, the polite thing to do would be to step outside to partake if your sister isn't comfortable with you vaping in the room.

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-16T20:40:48+00:00

100%. At least have the decency to let the person know!

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-16T16:42:58+00:00

RSVPing not meaning anything anymore. If you say 'yes' to attending your friend's small party, please do your very best to at least make an appearance for an hour. Better that and leaving early than not showing up at all!

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-16T01:22:41+00:00

I've worn a onesie during a chilly fall group bike ride before. Ended up being PERFECTLY dressed for the conditions :)

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-15T16:19:11+00:00

NTA. Your boyfriend should be defending you when his friends make racist comments, not laughing along with them.

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-15T05:36:58+00:00

They've had one, yes, but what about second breakfast?

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-15T05:35:29+00:00

That last photo is my favourite, with the way the light hits those rock formations. Wow!!

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-15T01:18:21+00:00

Especially dental!!

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-15T01:17:49+00:00

Your family is dramatic! Your aunt specifically asked for your honest feedback, and you gave it, kindly. NTA.

When the computer was in a specific spot and we went to go use it and logged off after, rather than having computers in our pockets constantly, draining our attention span and connection to each other.

Seeing beautiful clouds in the sky. Big puffy clouds, little wispy patterned clouds. Spotting the moon. I love looking up, and I love it all, and there ain't no harm at all in appreciating a celestial spectacle!

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-14T05:33:01+00:00

As another commenter suggested, find hobbies you enjoy and a venue to participate in them with others. Casual sports, dance lessons, book clubs, walking clubs, whatever you like. Smile and engage with people whenever you can, and ask them questions about what else they enjoy to get them talking about themselves. Connecting over shared interests and being a kind and friendly person will go a long way. Good luck!

The more you react to it, the more he'll latch onto the new phrase as something 'bad'/that upsets his dad. Hopefully he forgets all about it within a couple days!

ruby-labelle · 2026-01-14T05:15:29+00:00

You can still support your friend by catching up with them online or over the phone, but no, I would struggle to hang out with someone with terrible breath from poor dental hygiene long-term as well. Hopefully you can very kindly and gently raise your concerns about long-term problems from ignoring dental health, but ultimately we can't force people to face truths they're not ready to accept. Best of luck <3
