RELATIONSHIPS

My father-in-law is staying over at our house for a couple weeks and we've given him our bedroom to sleep in. Last night, the wife and I were having a few drinks and watching TV. She went upstairs earlier and I finished up around 1am. The combination of sleepiness and alcohol took a toll, and I forgot that we aren't sleeping in our room. Bear in mind that all the lights were out so I could only see a shadow in bed. I got into bed (naked), curled up beside who I thought was my wife and tried to spoon her in the hope that something might happen. That's when he turns around and says very loudly "John??" Omg I flipped out. I leapt out of bed, and tried to put on my boxers as quickly as possible. In the event, I tripped over them, he turned on the light and I was laying there naked on the floor. I just crawled out of the room in shame and went to the correct room. I told my wife this morning and she finds it hilarious. I'm still mortified by it and not sure how to bring it up with him once he wakes up?

I (25F) just got dumped by my fiancé (31M). We just celebrated our three year anniversary and our wedding is in 30 days. I am at a loss. He does not want to talk about it and refuses couples therapy. He said he’s been feeling unhappy for a while. He told me he wanted to work it out but told his sister he wanted to leave. I am broken and confused. We’ve lived together for over 2 years. I want to work it out but at this point I don’t think he does and i don’t think there’s anything left to fix. I still love him. What do I do?

My gf (25F) of 1,5 years forgot my(27F) birthday. Prior to this, in a conversation, she braggingly mentioned how she loves to plan ahead for the special people and their special days maybe weeks in advance. She loves the gifting and everything. And then she forgot my special day. I'm not someone that cares greatly about birthdays but lately I have been really struggling mentally and have been feeling depressed (something I have also mentioned to my partner of course). I think on top of all that, this situation is making me feel very....uncared for. Very sad. I am thinking about breaking up. Is this a valid reason to end a relationship.

I think I'm still in shock. I (29F) have dated my ex (34M) for a month and ended things amicably in June. Today, his mom showed up at my workplace while I was working. She asked me if I knew who I was (I didn't - I thought she was a client). She then proceeded to tell me how her son was extremely depressed because I left him, he is barely eating, he only leaves his house to go to work and doesn't go out much because he doesn't have any friends anymore. She then told me that she was leaving because their family lives abroad, and she was extremely concerned about leaving him alone like this. She made me feel like it was my fault he was depressed and lonely, and wanted me to get back together with him because he's waiting for me to go back to him. I told her that if he was that lonely, maybe his family could move back here so they can be with him. She said that was their intention if we gave her some grandchildren (WTF). Do I call him and tell him what his mom did?

My girlfriend (39) is very untrusting and it’s starting to break me (40). I have never and would never be unfaithful to her. We dated several years ago and a few months ago got back together. We’ve been on and off in that sense for probably 6 years overall but known each other far longer than that. I was hoping after all this time things would change. She claims to just want to post pictures on my behalf (which I also find weird), but I know it’s just to look through everything on my page. I love her very much but this kind of thing I’m just not comfortable with. A girl could say hello to me on there (which doesn’t actually happen anyway) and she would probably lose her mind. I could go into more detail but I’m just so exhausted right now with the whole thing. It breaks my heart that she doesn’t trust me because I’d never even consider doing anything behind her back. She has now blocked me from contacting her because I didn’t want to give her my password and I’m unsure what to do from here. Any suggestions?

PARENTING

So me and my husband normally get along and agree with most aspect of how we raise our kids. This however is our main disagreement. He doesn’t consider knowing how to cook actual food a life skill and doesn’t think we should bother to teach it to our kids. Whenever I say teach them to cook I mean simple stuff like tacos or spaghetti. I’m not going to expect my kid to make thanksgiving at fifteen. I try to involve both kids f(7) and m(4) with preparing meals. But husband seems to think I’m just enforcing something unnecessary and if they grow up to have no interest in cooking don’t bother to show them, just teach them how to preheat an over for a frozen pizza. What do you think?

Daughter who is in kindergarden will finish school at 3:30. My husband and I work from home till 4:30/5. I’m worried she will be too tired for after school activities every day. We want her to come home and relax but not have her just watching her iPad until dinner time. She also won’t have any homework this year. She sometimes can play independently but depends on her mood and doesn’t always last long. Any ideas? What do your kids do?

My 18mo is a messy, messy human. She has stains on all of her clothes and even though I don’t mind because they still do their ‘job’ (and she doesn’t mind because she’s 18mo)… there’s always a voice in the back of my head wondering if people are looking at me as a bad parent? Should I worry that I’m being judged?

I recently Got a Job where i Work from Home. I Work about 8-10 hours (mon-fri), But my 4 year Old wants to play all the time when she is Home. In the beginning i thought it was because she thought it was Nice i was Home. But after a few months, she still wants constant attention. She wants me to play in her room and gets upset when i Wont. How do i teach her to play by herself ?

My kids aged 3.5 and 1.5.. wife just started getting her period back after our second child a few months back. Problem is that it’s irregular and seems to last 3/4 weeks. So we get a small window for sex. With that window, our kids are awake ALL THE DAMN TIME. They know man, they fucking know. All I want is 10 minutes of intimacy with my wife. But my youngest.. she has better ideas. She literally needs to co sleep. We’ve tried everything, sleep specialists, leaving her crying, putting her down.. she will not sleep unless she is with someone. Help!!

SEX
I had a girlfriend in this June and we had intercourse but her vagina odor is in my pubic hair, I don't know if that's normal but even If I wash it is still there. I used condom but I don't know if I got STD in my pubic hair, someone tell me how to get rid of the smell?

m28 here. i went for a night out to a club at the weekend, having a really good time when this girl started giving me "the eyes", she was cute with a good figure etc so we started chatting at the bar, after the club closed she and her friends came back to mine, shortly after her friends left so it was just me and her (she told them she wanted to stay), and so the fun begins, we had sex obviously. afterwards we lay chatting and stuff and i started to realize she seemed quite immature, which is when i asked how old she was.....18! and only just turned 18 like 5 weeks ago!!! i feel like an absolute creep, i am in the UK and there is no legal problem but morally it feels wrong with such an age difference. How do I get past this?

For the past little while I've had an on/off relationship with a women, we've slept together maybe 5 times or so and while I can get her off just fine I cant seem to ejaculate during sex, we go at it for 45+ minutes sometimes and I'm hard the whole time, that's not a problem. The first time we hooked up I was a virgin and wasnt too surprised I didnt come and just chalked it up to being nervous. But multiple hook-ups later and I still cant. I dont think she minds too much as it means I can go pretty much as long as she wants. regardless of finding her very attractive, I'm worried she may think I'm not into her or that there is something wrong with her. Any advice?

So I (f21) and my boyfriend (m21) both have used weed and lsd before. We both get extremely horny and have used it to our advantage. The last few times we’ve tried, if I’m not very active then he loses his erection.. I know a part of it is the drugs being relaxing, but I wasn’t sure if there are any tricks or positions I should try and use to see if it helps?

I wanna have sex with a girlfriend of mine, but I live with roommates. Where would be a nice place where I can maybe get lucky?

WORK

I have had to take on some of my coworkers work in addition to my daily tasks while they are out of office. I am the senior to junior team members, so I also get pulled to help them research account issues and resolve account escalations. The last few days I have found myself dreading to have to go into work. I never feel accomplished by the time I clock out for the day. I’ve been binge eating, feeling exhausted, and feeling more emotional (sometimes I start to cry). How should I combat burn out? Any tips on how to approach management and ask for help?

I’ve been working at this company for just over a year, 5 months back or so I was told that they were thinking about terminating me for “doing the bare minimum”. Since then i’ve improved, I’ve been told that im doing good and I got a raise for my one year, but my office manager sent me a form to sign stating that I understand that “Upon termination” I am to return everything that i’ve been given by the company (company laptop, access cards, keys etc.) I honestly just need someone to tell me not to worry. This is a regular form right?

Everywhere I have worked, the boss will mention someone is out not feeling well / sick. I find it very odd that my boss won't even mention that an employee is out sick. I understand that you cannot go into details, but staff tend to worry when someone is randomly out for a week without an explanation. Is this normal?! I literally asked if there were updates if the person was feeling better and he responded he cannot disclose any health information regarding employees. He sites it is in line with disclosing sexual orientation; race; gender etc. Curious vc this is my first time I have had a boss behave this way. What is your experience?

I have had some mental health issues for awhile. I ended up going to the ER after taking too much of a medication during a panic attack. All my test results came back stating that I am healthy and no damage was done luckily. I've been here since 11 50 pm and am expected to be leaving around 6 am. I am supposed to work at 7 40. I have an excuse note but I know my manager and coworker are going to ask why I was in the ER. I don't really want my coworkers to know my mental health business. What should I say I was in the hospital for?

Hi, if you informed your employer that they overpaid you this month and they said they will look into it, would you continue to remind them or just keep quiet from that point on?

RELATIONSHIPS

I (24f) got home around 4 and started making dinner at 5. My boyfriend typically gets off work around 5:30 but didn’t get home until 6, until I was already making dinner. He got home, gave me a hug and some kisses, and immediately wanted to get on his PC because his friends were on. I spent the entire time after I got home from work cooking dinner and when it was ready, he was mid game but was aware dinner was ready. I don’t like telling him what to do and don’t want to seem controlling, so I just softly say “it’s okay” when he asks to game to push past my feelings. We just have a conversation last week about how I was feeling neglected when he games every night. How do I get him to eat dinner with me?

My girlfriend just broke up with me and I went to smoke and have drinks with some friends we still currently live together so when I got back she told me that I didn't care about or love her and I don't care about our relationship when she was the one to break up with me then she started to say that she was going to kill herself because don't nobody love or care about her but I do love and care about her this has happened multiple times where she'll break up with me then start to tell me I don't love or care about her and she is going to kill herself and I have gotten back with her each time she has done it. Somebody please help me.

So I'm a dude and he's also a dude and he's the best person I've ever met in life. I like to believe that God gifted me him. Because without him I probably wouldn't be alive. He helped sculpture my moral compass and taught me so many things, he's basically my older brother. I'd give my life for his with no hesitation and he would do the same. So anyway, our bond is unbreakable and he always has my back. In the last few years we started to become cuddly to some degree and I'm more than fine with that, he's one of the few people I can be myself with. Everytime we see each other we hug, and everytime one of us gets upset we would hug each other for comfort. So today me and my friends were hanging out and decided to sit on the sidewalk he leaned in and put his head on my shoulder and that's very normal we would do this all the time. But this time, out of nowhere, he lifted his head and kissed me on my left cheek and I was surprised but it was a pleasant surprise, tbh it made me feel warm and nice, but I didn't do anything so it won't get weird. I don't know how I feel about this, not that it bothered me but I didn't expect it. Should I expect more? Or should I do nothing about it?

I met someone on a dating site and we got along wonderfully. They are extremely sweet and funny. I made sure to be super transparent about myself and post pictures that reflect the actual me. We scheduled a date for tomorrow night which we both seemed excited for. My excitement was shot down when they began questioning why I dress the way I dress which is more on the alternative/rocker side. They said that they prefer someone who doesn’t dress like I do but doesn’t want me to change and still wants to go on the date because my personality is nice. I don’t know if I’m overthinking it but something about someone reacting negatively to my choice in clothing and telling me I’m not their preference makes me feel like going on the date just isn’t the right move but I don’t want to rush to judge someone either. Should I still go on the date?

We broke up about 2-3 months ago in June. We had been together for about 5 years. After like a month of our break up she started talking to guys and flirting, not in a serious way. But basically I know what she’s doing which is what I used to do when I was like 16 to 19, is just flirt a bunch because its fun, it gets your mind off of things and who knows what you can benefit from it. I understand. However, why is it that i cant bring this side of me out anymore? Why is it so easy for her to do this but hard for me?

My boyfriend knows I’m not happy and actually told me he can see in my eyes that I’ve given up. He started crying and said I’m not the same person he fell in love with, and he knows it’s because of his actions, and he feels selfish knowing that I’m unhappy and feels I’m still here because he’s going through a difficult time and he wants to stop giving me false hope that things will change. He pretty much told me that he knows I’ve been thinking of ending things, and would understand if I decide to leave. I never thought he would say something like that. And we live together so I’m not sure where to go from here. What do I do now?

PARENTING

My daughter is turning 17 in November and is a junior in high school. Her boyfriend will be 18 in January. He’s a senior. They’ve been dating for 7 months. We’ve been pretty lenient with her. She’s a good kid, has a job, gets straight As. Her boyfriend has been allowed to hang out in her room with the door closed. She’s on birth control. I believe they have started having sex in the past 2 months. I really don’t care to know for sure. They boy is a nice kid. We like him a lot. Here’s the thing - I don’t want them having sex in my house. Is that really strict? I don’t think so. There’s no way my parents would have even allowed me to be alone in my bedroom for hours with a boy. I don’t mind kissing, snuggling, etc. but is it too much to have a rule of no sleeping with your boyfriend in our house?

I need some help and support for my wife. I work 12-hour shifts at night and she’s having to do 20+ hours of childcare by herself, with no support. Despite all the people that said that they’d help and be there, their not around or anywhere to be seen or heard from. I’m gonna be looking for a new job but what can I do in the meantime? She has postpartum depression, and she’s losing her poor little mind because of our child. We suspect that our baby girl has baby-version of GERD, just like my wife had and still has to this day, so that means strictly breastfeeding but our baby will nurse for literal HOURS at a time and she’s still hungry… what can I do?

For how long should I wait until I let my kids meet my boyfriend? Me and their dad are no longer together and I've been dating this guy for a few weeks, but we've been friends since January. I trust him 100% and he has a daughter of his own and is really good with her. I feel like I should wait a bit longer but at the same time I'm so in love with this guy and I really do want him to meet my kids and vice versa. What do you guys think?

Help! I need some help with creative thinking here. Long story short my toddler got an egg from my friends chicken coop. She was helping carry the eggs back inside but thought it was so cute and did not want to let it go. I thought it was so cute too so I helped her make a nest to keep “Eggy” safe. She’s pretty smart and knows that eggs hatch baby chicks and has been telling her dad and I how she can’t wait for her to hatch and that she’s going to love her forever. Eggy sleeps in her nest by her bed and has been coming everywhere with us. We have been trying to come up with creative ways for Eggy to hatch or swap her out. Or just next steps in general. She’s been careful when taking Eggy out her next so we don’t think her dropping it is a possibility. We’re thinking of cleaning the egg out and trying to fill it with jelly beans. We definitely let this attachment to an egg spiral but it was too adorable. Any suggestions?

My 2 year old squeezes out all the shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, moisturising creme, hair gel and we're forever wasting so much money having to replace these items when he dumps them all out when they're full. I've tried putting them under the sink and he just opens it (broke the child lock). Plus I don't want to have to go out of my way to get what I need from the bathroom how can I just teach him to stop doing this?

My son, 7 and a half, lost a tooth yesterday. The Tooth fairy questions started with the last tooth ("is there really a tooth fairy? What does she do with the teeth?") And I kinda played it off. I didn't lie, but I was vague. This time, he straight up said he didn't think there was a tooth fairy, that he thought it was just me coming in after he was asleep. I asked if that's what he really thought (yes), if he was sure (yes), and then I confirmed that he was right. I told him that we pretend the tooth fairy is real because it's fun, and because losing teeth is a big deal since it means he's growing up. I also said that part of knowing the secret is keeping it so he doesn't spoil the fun for other kids. My mom thinks I shouldn't have told him the truth, that I should have kept the fairy myth alive for a little while longer. Is she right? Did I screw up?

FTM to a beautiful 12 week old baby girl who since the beginning of her days has sucked her fist, index finger or thumb. I have been taking it as a hunger cue which has been fine. The other night I caught her doing it in her sleep for the first time. MIL is adamant I give her a pacifier as they are easier to toss away, can't remove her hand. However I feel very strongly against them as neither my partner or I had one as children. Do they grow out of sucking hand?

SEX

How to get my wife to let me give her a facial? We got married 2 months ago and she’s never swallowed my cum, but this is a fetish I’ve always had. She’s let me cum on her ass and tits but I want to cover her face with my seed. Any ideas/tips?

My super hot soon to be fiancé is a stripper and bi. I know, what a lucky guy I am haha. We haven’t discussed bringing someone else into the bedroom until she sent me a snap from work with another girl saying they want a threesome. This is going to be my first one so I’m just looking for some tips to keep them both satisfied as well as having fun myself. Any suggestions?

My boyfriend stays hard when I jack him off with my hand but as soon as he is inside me for a few minutes he starts to lose his boner. He apologizes and is super upset and embarrassed about it..On the very rare occasion he stays hard the whole time when we are having sex. Any advice on what’s happening?

Hello I’m a (f20) I lost my virginity when I was 19 I’ve had sex plenty of times. I’ve had issues having an orgasm in the past. But since I got together with my boyfriend of three months I’ve never not had an orgasm. But I can’t ever orgasm when I play with myself. I have only tried two toys. Should i try more?

I am 31 year old virgin got hitched recently. Initial couple of weeks were great the sensation of touching 😘and licking alone was enough to make us both cum. Now we are preparing for full on intercourse. Please suggest dos and don'ts.

So me and my girl have sex often, but the way me or her initiates it is the same all the time. We first kiss each other, then I move down south, then we have sex after. Is there another way to start it? Like a more interesting way?

My wife had a baby almost 3 months ago and the sex has not been an option. I have tried multiple times and she gets very angry and annoyed. Even asked for a hand job to which she got angry. She is not breastfeeding but is pumping regularly. I’m going to be honest and can’t remember the last time we have been intimate since it’s been so long. I am so aggravated with her and have a short temper at any given time due to lack of sex. Any advice?

WORK

I work in a web development team. We create websites and build SEO but we're pretty small. There are only about 15 of us altogether. I was hired in 2020 as a copywriter but the marketing manager clearly wanted me to be more than that and has been pushing me towards greater things, which is nice and I've learned a lot. (side note, I have never met any of the team, we're all remote based). I took this job for 2 reasons, I wanted something less stressful than my previous job with a big firm and I wanted to work from home. Both wishes were granted. It's now been almost 18 months and my manager says they want me to go to Berlin with them for a conference, and then they want me to help table another conference in Malta. Can I say no to the trip?

I started a new job a month ago & I’m really enjoying it. It was a parallel move for me & I came to this company to get more opportunities. My manager Jane is moving to another position & I want her job. We have the same amount of experience, I have a slightly higher qualification but there are some products of the company that are new to me. I’m worried about ruining my reputation already if I put myself forward for this by appearing naive but I also don’t want to miss the opportunity. I know I’d be able to do the job well if I got a crash course in the products that are new to me. So my question is two-fold, can I ask for the promotion? If so, how do I even broach the topic?

probation period. the key to success at work is keeping my mouth shut. so i need tips: how do i stfu and let them enact a process with so many holes in it i can tell them exactly how long it will take to not work, what the error will be, and why they missed it. how do i remain silent and not say anything!???

Work in a small office. I’m f28 and my coworker is m26. I’ve been in many office settings multiple times but this is the first time I’ve been in a position where someone fist bumps me at least a minimum 5 times a day lmao. I don’t mind as much because it’s harmless (so i think) but he does it in very weird instances like when I’m eating or when he has to pass me multiple times (in rapid succession) but I’m big on hygiene and ik Monkey Pox ain’t no fun so i immediately wash my hands or sanitize. I also notice he doesn’t do it to everyone so it’s weird but am i overreacting or is it nothing and just tolerate it?

On Monday, I was told that I got the job and to expect a phone call on Tuesday. Only now it’s Thursday and I haven’t heard anything. Not even a reply to my email saying how excited I am & thank you. How would you approach this?

I asked someone to pick up a shift yesterday. Today, my grandma was admitted to the hospital, and I need to go tend to her as well as take care of my young little brother, who lives with my elderly grandfather (our parents aren’t around.) I’m the only really capable one around & they need my help. I let her know I can’t cover her shift the next day, and she said she already made plans. We never talked to the manager, but it’s in the work group chat. Is it my shift to cover or find coverage? What do I do?

SEX

Is it ok of me to make an ultimatum to a guy that I won't swallow unless he tries his own cum at least once first?

So I(M) had my first kiss with a good friend(F) tonight, we've known eachother for a year now and we went on a date to see how an "us" would function. At the end of it she insisted we try and kiss; she is experienced and it's my first time; so we ended up kissing and I tried some tongue and the whole mile. Afterwards she just seemed so unsatisfied? Like there wasn't a frown or a smile or blushing or anything. Have i done something wrong?

What is the thing with anal, that makes so many men want it?

Husband tested positive for oral gonorrhea yesterday with throat swab. I tested negative for throat and urine. He was very borderline verbally abusive about how I was cheating and gave it to him from ‘kissing’. Did he cheat?

RELATIONSHIPS

how to stop my family from feeling entitled to come to my city and stay days at my apartment I share?
I am 24F and I share an apartment with one of my closest friends 25M. The apartment is a 2 bedroom so it’s not really that big or small- just a normal sized place in a tourist city. It’s been about 4 times already this year that my family has self invited themselves to stay at my place without asking me prior. My older sibling stayed here over 3 weeks, before leaving, and coming back a month later to stay another 3 nights. The other time it was my mom and aunt staying 2-4 nights out of the blue. How do i tell them this has to stop?

my boyfriend’s cousin disrespected me and punched my boyfriend when he confronted him about it. My boyfriend beat his cousin up and now my partner’s mother wants to meet with me alone to talk about what happened. She begged me to not tell my boyfriend. What do I do?

Should I 21M accept the apology of my bully from school?

He (23M) and I (21F) been dating for 6 months. Official for 3. I am a college student who went to my hometown (an hour away) for the summer. He asked me to be his girlfriend right before I left and we did long distance. He was able to visit about 5-7 times. Two nights ago I moved back in and was now living in the same city as him. I was so excited. But that night I found out he cheated on me. He cheated about two months after I went to my hometown. He kept it a secret and the girl eventually told me. Do I take him back?

PARENTING

Son want's to be called "gargabe man", refuses his given name. Hes two. what do we do now??

How do you all feel about having a “kid free zone” after a certain time before they go to bed? Like for example, 8pm rolls around and your kids go play in their play area or their bedroom away from your living room or where you’re relaxing. They have their technology, toys, etc to play with. They’ve already done all their bedtime routines so no need for you to worry about that later. It’s considered quiet hours and they’re not allowed to come barreling in and bug you during “adult time / kid free zone” typically they’ll stay up to 9:30pm and then get a notification on their clock to let them know it’s time to go to bed (electronics auto turn off then too)

A few days ago we were at a family BBQ and 9ne of my relative's dog suddenly barked and scared my 4 month old daughter, who I was holding at the time. Of course she started crying a little and as I was calming her down, my mother came over to pick her up and went to bring her to my wife, who was talking to some people a little further away telling me that she obviously needed her mommy. And this is just one example of people assuming mom is way more capable than dad.Why do so many people consider dads to be second-rate parents?

My daughter, 11F, today told me she saw something on YouTube called "LittleSpace" and she likes it. She explained it as adults or teens who dress as and act like babies or toddlers. They have a small cozy space in which to wear a onesie, use a pacifier, drink special warm milk from a baby bottle, and color in coloring books. This immediately made me very uncomfortable, but I didn't show it and instead said it sounded cute. She went full on into the conversation, asking if I could buy her pacifiers and a baby bottle. She's already talking about the space she will convert in her room into a cozy spot that she can sit and color in coloring books with a pacifier. She said it can be to wind down at the end of the day, to relieve anxiety, or to that for some people that have "childhood regression" and just live like babies to relive their bad childhood. How concerned should I be about this? Is there a chance this is just something innocent? I wanted to support her, so I played it cool, but inside I am dying. After we talked she went on Amazon and found a pacifier she wanted. She asked me to order it for her, used her own money to pay me. I don't even know what to say. The pacifier is arriving on Sunday and she's has plans to use the weekend to clean her room and get her littlespace ready... Someone help me. What is happening?

There’s an open wound on my finger from a hangnail and it has pus. I have work tomorrow and a training video said to report any injuries like that to an employer, but it’s just so small I don’t wanna make a big deal out of it. Should I tell my manager or would a bandaid do?

This is the second week of a new job I just started. It's a very small office. My coworker will not stop talking to me all day long, no matter what cues I give for her to stop. All she talks about is terrible things about everyone in the company, what they have done to her, and little ways she has gotten back at them. On top of that she's super nosey, admits to listening in on people's convos, and even showed me the pay rate of a contract worker in the same office (she is accounts payable). This job is a considerable pay raise from my previous job and in every other way pretty awesome. I don't know what to do about this coworker. Help!

I've this temp job for about 6 months now and my contract is coming to an end. HR said, they're trying to open a position for me but I'm not sure if I want it. Well, I think do. This company gives me weird vibes. Overall it's fine. I get paid fine for what I do, people are friendly enough, and my lunches are finally longer than 20 minutes. I must say though, it does get very boring. I only have one issue, and it's kinda more of an department issue, No one knows how to communicate. People will actively avoid talking to one another so when shit hits the fan everyone is annoyed and confused. It turns into hours of "explain everything you do at this job because this shit is confusing me". After hours of this we finally fix the problem, and I feel like total shit. It's like I've been gaslighted for the past few hours. I don't know what it is. It's probably an issue with me but it's really wearing me down after 6 months. I welcome any and all advice.

Found out a coworker is recording zoom calls without letting people know before hand or asking if it’s okay. It makes me uncomfortable; am I wrong to feel that way? They mentioned they were recording half way through a call, after I asked if I needed to slow down, so I don’t think there was any nefarious intent. I told them they should probably ask in the future, but I don’t trust that they will.
