Laura:我认为最让人恼火的短信是只收到一个字母“K”,或者开始打字很久,让对方看到气泡,然后什么都不发。沉默也是一种强大的武器,无法被误解。作为老板,我可能会误解点赞的含义,但现在我知道点赞并不困扰我,我用爱心回应来确认已读消息。 Brittany:我认为最具有攻击性的回复是点赞,总是带有消极攻击性。如果发送点赞作为后续文本,那就不是回应,而是消极攻击。我前男友(一个自恋者)说,对一个人最具刺激性的事情就是忽略他们,给予他们沉默的待遇。我很庆幸现在我知道你认为点赞不是消极攻击,因为作为你的老板,我可能会误解它。 Keeshia:我太担心他们可能会看到我取消关注了,并且会因此而受到伤害或冒犯。我绝对认为社交礼仪是存在的。

GUY CAME IN ME WITHOUT ASKING - AM I OVERREACTING?

I started seeing a guy a few weeks ago that I was genuinely into. We met on Hinge, had been on a few dates, and things were going really well. He seemed sweet and thoughtful — he even UberEats-ed me Panadol when I mentioned I had a headache, and we’d had a lot of great chats. Fast forward to last week: he invited me over for a wine and pizza night. One thing led to another and we ended up having sex — unprotected (which I now regret, but I felt too awkward in the moment to say anything). Then, without asking or even warning me, he finished inside me. I was stunned. He gave me a kiss, got dressed, and didn’t bring it up at all. I just layed there in shock, pretending to fall asleep because I didn’t know how to respond.The next day, he sent me a long message apologising — completely unprompted — saying it was a split-second decision that he instantly regretted. While I appreciated the apology, I can’t shake the feeling that this is a dealbreaker. At that moment, he chose his own convenience over my autonomy and my body. I keep going back and forth in my head — am I overreacting? I’d love to know your thoughts, because as much as I liked him, I’m not sure I can come back from something like this so early on.

FRIEND DITCHED ME AFTER BECOMING AN INFLUENCER

What do you do if an old friend who you used to talk to from time to time suddenly unfollows you on insta after becoming an influencer? I went to primary school & most of high school with this person in a rural town. He was probably my first childhood crush & after high school he was trying to make it big through YouTube which I supported along the way. He even messaged me saying he was so grateful for my support. Then he started posting different content which got him really recognised & then he unfollowed a bunch of his old friends, including me. I still respond to his stories from time to time as he is constantly smashing massive goals in life to do with his career. However, recently he’s just gotten engaged which he posted on his story & it makes me sad to think he cut me off. I want to tell him congratulations & that I am excited for what the future brings for him, but every other reaction to his story is just met with a like of my reaction. What should I do? I’m not sure how to move on - if comes into my mind every time I see his stories.

PEOPLE COMMENTING ON MY BABY’S BIG SIZE

I have a 2.5 year old daughter who has always been a ‘big baby’. She was 4.3kg at birth and in the 95th percentile for height, weight and head when she was little and now she wears size 4. I honestly don’t even notice it (except picking her up sometimes) and she is a healthy happy child. However friends, family and strangers comment on her size all the time - wow she is so big, omg she is huge, constantly comparing her height to their children etc I have even had ‘being tall is ok but you also have to be really skinny otherwise it’s not attractive’ I guess my question is when the hell did we become ok with commenting on a child’s size/weight and how do I respond? My partner and I sometimes make jokes about the size of her head so we can take a joke these just go too far

FRIEND WANTS TO BRING DAUGHTER INSTEAD OF HUSBAND TO OUR WEDDING 

We were meant to be married on March 7 on the Gold Coast. But due to cyclone Alfred our wedding was swept away. We have lost $35k and now in a legal battle with the venue and caterers (don't even get me started on that). Due to everything that’s happened we have decided to have a bit more of a low key wedding in Melbourne as that is where I am from and most of my friends and family are there. Anyway I have two close work mates I invited to the wedding. To be respectful I invited their husbands even though I don’t know them very well. One of them is coming solo. The other has asked if she can bring her 18 year old daughter instead of her husband.. I gotta ask what would you do? I said no btw.
