Questions asked:
Is it selfish to block an ex after you told him you dont wanna get back together? And he still wants to wait?
My ex partner and I had an in person conversation and he has asked for another chance. I have said that I am not interested anymore and would like to focus on my own personal, work goals. I have mentioned that we could be friends in the future but not now as Im not ready yet. However he is still contacting me here and there… I am thinking to block him for my own peace of mind. Is that selfish?
Would hotel staff notice if I swapped out paintings or sculpture?
I travel a lot for work and although i’d never do it, I wondering if they would notice if the art suddenly changed in one room? Not just wall hangings, small decor sculptures? What if I swapped out an office chair? Some have nice office chairs.
What are some easy, screenless, non-book related hobbies I can try?
I’m having a very difficult time savoring the present moment. I can’t talk to my closest IRL friends, since they’re both extremely busy with graduate school. It’s very hard to meet new friends, since I work from home. I spend a lot of my free-time just dwelling on past mistakes or catastrophizing about the future. I go to therapy to help with those, but I also want to build my self-esteem by completing small and fun tasks — is there a hobby I can try that can help keep me grounded? And can you guys tell me about your experiences with these hobbies and how they make you feel? Bonus if the hobby can connect me to hobby groups.
• Preferably not reading, since that tends to take me out of my life
• Preferably not related to visual art, drawing and painting specifically. Painting is expensive and takes me a really long time to set up, & I have some drawing-related self-esteem baggage
• Am 23F if that matters!
I don’t get along with my husband’s best friend’s fiancé and feel guilty about it. Do I play nice or cut ties?
I feel that I’ve given the friendship a sincere try, but I don’t enjoy her company, largely because she makes me uncomfortable. For example, she never fails to make a comment about my body. Every time. And it’s always about how small my chest is. One time we were talking about how clothes fit and I mentioned something about my boobs, and she quipped, “what boobs?” The day of my wedding, she commented that my dress was “doing a lot of work up there.” She has said that I’m part of the “itty bitty titty committee.” I know I have a small chest. It’s okay. I just don’t know how to act because I don’t want her to think I’m okay with the body jokes, but I also don’t want to make things awkward because our partners are best friends.
Her bridal shower is coming up and I feel like I’m at a crossroads. If I go, I’ll feel like I’m dragging on this “cordial friendship.” If I don’t, I feel like it’ll signal to her that I’m not interested in her friendship. What to do?
My brother and I were close as kids. We’d drifted some by the time I came out as a lesbian in college. Now, we mainly see each other at our parents’ house. Still, my brother has met my wife (of three years) and our toddler son several times. He and his wife just had a baby. I’m happy for them! The problem? He invited me to the baby’s baptism but asked me to leave my wife and son at home. He said his wife’s family is very religious and doesn’t approve of my marriage. This is a big problem, obviously. I want to support my brother, if possible. Is there any way I can attend this baptism?

How do you ward off cats?
I've scented my room with various citrus scents, and I put books on my bed when I'm not home. And the cats somehow still get in; I even close my doo
