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 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 parents recently split and my mom has this new horrendous boyfriend. I don't even want to attempt to explain to her all the reasons I hate him and it can be hard to keep my emotions towards him in control. Any advice on how to deal with this?
I always find myself surrounded by people who come from really wealthy families, and I'm not from the same background. I want to be able to hang out and keep up with them but it can obviously be hard. Is there a gentle way to explain to people that I want to hang out but I can't afford it sometimes?
Q: I was casually dating this guy two years younger than me. I just graduated and he still has two more years left of school.
