My boyfriend's mother thinks I tell him what to do. Yet it is not the truth, we are in a long distance relationship; he lives at home after college. I am always asking his opinion and letting him do whatever he wants. I don't text more than 3 or 4 times during the day and I rarely call him. Why do you think this is happening?
I can't distinguish if I'm jealous of my friend's relationships with their boyfriends or there is legit cause for concern. For example, one of my friends is so invested in her relationship and the guy seems really controlling — he hates when I call and she's with him, he doesn't want her to take a leadership role in her club because it takes time away from him.
I have an abusively mean professor. He is condescending and has awful mood swings. His grading makes zero sense, and most of his assignments seem to have no fluidity. A couple of students, including myself, are considering talking to the head of the department. Do you think this is a good idea? What can I say...gently? He is not tenured...however, his wife is.
My friend's boyfriend has made uncomfortable advances towards me. I don't want to tell my friend because she is really insecure and this is her first boyfriend. I couldn't be less interested (I think he's gay...) but I need to get control of this situation. How should I handle it?
My friend came back from a semester abroad and picked up "social smoking". How do I get her to stop? What should I say?
My mom is becoming really buddy-buddy with my best friend. She asks her personal questions about me in front of me making everyone uncomfortable. What can I say to both my mom and my friend to avoid this scenario? I'm happy they like each other but this is too much!
